Oregon HB4009 would phase in a mandatory per-mile road usage charge for owners and lessees of electric and hybrid passenger vehicles and delivery vans engaged in e-commerce. It would allow an annual flat fee in lieu of the per-mile road usage charge. The Department of Transportation would recommend a rate for the per-mile road usage charge that would sustainably raise the revenue necessary to maintain the public highways of this state. The bill would pause an EV rebate and limit another EV rebate to one per household. The provisions would become operative on July 1, 2027.
