Alternative Fuel Vehicle User Fee Options. A report in response to Act 153: Section 39
November 2012
The arrival of electric vehicles on Vermont roads presents policy makers with competing goals. On the one hand there are policy goals, such as those described in the 2011 Vermont Comprehensive Energy Plan, that support and encourage adoption of electric vehicles in Vermont while on the other hand the need to continue to fund transportation infrastructure requires some assessment of fees for all users of the system. The primary options explored in this report include:

  1. Flat annual registration fee on electric and natural gas (NGV) vehicles
  2. Volumetric taxes on natural gas and electricity
  3. Vehicle miles traveled fee
