New Federal Taxes on Electric Vehicle and Battery Sales.

This bill establishes new federal taxes on the sale of electric vehicles and heavy battery modules, which will likely result in increased purchase prices for consumers. The revenue generated from these taxes is specifically earmarked for transfer to the Highway Trust Fund, aiming to finance road maintenance and infrastructure. These new taxes will apply to sales occurring after December 31, 2025, and do not affect hybrid vehicles.
Key points
A fixed tax of $1,000 imposed on the sale of every new light-duty electric vehicle (excluding hybrids).
An additional $550 tax levied on heavy battery modules (weighing over 1,000 pounds) intended for use in electric vehicles.
All revenue collected from these new taxes will be dedicated to the Highway Trust Fund to support road infrastructure.
