Fair SHARE Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Johnson, Dusty [R-SD-At Large]

Introduced

Summary

A new per-vehicle and per-battery tax would impose a $1,000 tax on each electric vehicle sale and a $550 tax on each battery module over 1,000 pounds, with the money directed into the Highway Trust Fund. It would apply to sales by manufacturers, producers, and importers and take effect for sales after December 31, 2025.

Show full summary
  • Families and buyers: Prices for light-duty electric vehicles could rise because manufacturers or importers would face a $1,000 tax per EV and a $550 tax for qualifying heavy battery modules. These costs may be passed on to consumers.
  • Manufacturers, producers, and importers: The tax is collected at sale by the maker or importer, so companies that build or import covered EVs and battery modules bear the immediate tax obligation. Covered vehicles are light-duty models under an 8,500 pound gross vehicle weight rating and exclude hybrids that pair an internal combustion engine with a rechargeable system.
  • Highways and infrastructure: Revenue from the new taxes is explicitly routed to the Highway Trust Fund by amending the tax code to index the new tax to existing transfers.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Electric vehicle taxes fund highways

Money from these new taxes would go to the Highway Trust Fund. That fund pays for highways and roads. If enacted, this would start with sales after December 31, 2025. Most households use these roads, so this could support broad transportation services.

New taxes on electric vehicles and batteries

Manufacturers and importers would owe new per-unit charges. They would pay $1,000 for each electric vehicle sold after December 31, 2025. They would also pay $550 for each battery module over 1,000 pounds sold for use in an electric vehicle. The rules cover light-duty electric vehicles under 8,500 pounds and exclude hybrids. These costs could raise the price buyers pay for electric cars.
