SB 1728: Texas Tesla Drivers should pay their fair share to use the roads in Texas
Let your State of Texas Representative know!
Below is a template you can use, to contact your state representative, this is regarding a potential annual fee that you will have to pay, when you register your Tesla in Texas.
Dear State Representative,
I’m a Tesla vehicle owner here in Texas, the home of the largest electric car factory in the world!
I’m writing to you about SB 1728. I’m happy to “pay my fair share” towards the beautiful roads I use in Texas.
In 2019, the Legislature asked the DMV to study what an average Texan pays at the pump in state gas tax. The DMV followed through, and found Texans pay an estimated $100 / year.
But, SB 1728 currently asks Texas Tesla and other EV drivers to pay $200 / year!
Please kindly move to adjust what Texas Tesla and other EV drivers pay to $100.
Thank you,
Texas Tesla Owner
