Electric vehicle surcharge modification

SF 966 increases the surcharge for all-electric vehicles from $75 to $150 and adds new surcharges for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles ($75), all-electric motorcycles ($30), and plug-in hybrid electric motorcycles ($15). The bill requires these surcharges to be paid upon vehicle registration and directs all revenue to the highway user tax distribution fund. It also mandates automatic annual adjustments to the surcharge amounts based on changes to Minnesota's gasoline excise tax. These changes directly affect owners of the specified electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles when registering them in Minnesota.
