Oregon could join Hawaii in mandating pay-per-mile fees for EV owners as gas tax projections fall

The program aims to fill a $300 million transportation budget gap as EV registrations reach over 84,000, with phases expanding to hybrids and all EVs by 2028.

  • Oregon could become the second U.S. state to require electric vehicle owners to enroll in a pay-per-mile program to fill a $300 million transportation budget hole.
  • Hawaii in 2023 became the first state to create a mandatory road usage charge program due to declining fuel tax revenue from electric and efficient vehicles.
  • Oregon's proposed program would phase in starting in 2027, charging EVs 5% of the gas tax rate and expanding to hybrids in 2028, along with gas tax hikes.
