Another article here, also indicating ICE will pay $20 only
"Federal lawmakers have suggested instituting a $20 annual fee for cars as they attempt to move away from the federal gas tax.
The fee is part of an effort to depart from the existing gasoline tax, which hasn’t been raised since 1993 and currently stands at 18.4 cents per gallon.
Apart from the $20 fee, the proposal would also add a $200 annual vehicle registration fee for electric vehicles and a $100 fee for hybrid vehicles.
Some states charge fees for electric vehicles to cover road repair costs. Congress for the past three decades has opted not to hike fuel taxes to pay for rising road repair costs. Some Republican senators in February proposed a $1,000 tax on EVs for road repair costs."
Am I reading this right?
This "fee", on top of additional State "EV registration fees", could add up to a lot of extra $ cost of operating an electric vehicle in USA.
