Tuesday

Quoting https://transportation.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=408418,

By leveraging states’ existing registration systems, the bill assesses an annual registration fee of $200 on EVs and $100 on hybrids (which currently pay a lesser share into the HTF) to ensure they pay for their use of the nation’s roads and bridges.

The $20 levy, which is proposed to kick in in 2031, would follow the same mechanism.
