Florida S0804 would require owners of battery electric vehicles to pay an annual registration fee of $250.

Florida S0804 amends the state's statutes to define "battery electric vehicle" as a motor vehicle powered solely by an electric motor drawing current from rechargeable batteries and not equipped with an internal combustion engine. The bill requires owners of such vehicles to pay an annual registration fee of $250 at the time of initial registration and each renewal thereafter. These fees must be deposited into the State Transportation Trust Fund and used for the planning, construction, maintenance, and repair of public roads and transportation infrastructure.
