The chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee wants to collect funds ?from electric vehicles to help pay for U.S. highway repairs ‌as part of a surface transportation bill.

Representative Sam Graves, a Republican, said he plans to take up a multi-year bill in early April. Last year, House Republicans ?proposed a new $250 annual fee on EVs and $100 for hybrid EVs ?but it was not included in a massive tax and ?spending bill. The current five-year surface transportation law expires on September ?30.
