Massachusetts S2208 establishes a fee on certain high-priced vehicles to fund the transition to electric vehicles.

Massachusetts S2208 amends the General Laws to create a fee on the registration of eligible vehicles, defined as passenger vehicles with a final sales price of $60,000 or more that are neither plug-in hybrid electric vehicles with an all-electric range of 25 miles or greater nor battery electric vehicles. The fee, set by the registrar in consultation with the Department of Energy Resources, considers the vehicle's final sales price, weight, and other criteria to promote equity and avoid burdening low-income residents.
