Electric vehicles (EVs) have long been championed as a step toward a more sustainable future. But their rise presents a fiscal challenge: shrinking gas tax revenues that fund critical infrastructure. Oregon lawmakers are now weighing a major shift—charging EV owners a per-mile fee or flat annual charge to replace lost fuel tax revenue.
The debate in Oregon underscores a broader fiscal reality: as technology changes, so must the tax base that supports public services. Whether the state adopts a per-mile fee, a higher registration charge, or some hybrid model, this could reshape how states tax mobility in the years ahead.
