Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Fast chargers must show tax-inclusive prices

Beginning July 1, 2026, sellers at DC fast charging stations must clearly display the price per kilowatt-hour, including all taxes. Customers can see the tax-inclusive electricity price before buying. This display requirement does not change the tax rate.

Lower yearly fees for electric vehicles

Beginning July 1, 2026, qualifying all-electric vehicles registered in Wyoming have a $100 annual decal fee, down from $200. Owners save $100 each year. The annual fee for qualifying Wyoming-registered plug-in hybrids drops to $50. The provided text does not state the previous plug-in hybrid fee.

Sales tax removed from qualifying fuels

Beginning July 1, 2026, alternative-fuel sales taxed under Wyoming's alternative-fuel tax system are exempt from Wyoming sales tax. Buyers no longer pay sales tax on those qualifying purchases. The separate alternative-fuel tax still applies.

New tax on electric vehicle charging

Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming taxes taxable vehicle-charging electricity at 3.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. Electricity sold or dispensed at DC fast charging stations counts as alternative fuel, including charging for plug-in hybrids. Electricity exempt under Wyoming's alternative-fuel tax law is excluded.

New tax duties for fuel sellers

Beginning July 1, 2026, DC fast charging stations must meter charging electricity, and dealers must collect and remit the full tax. Wyoming's Revenue Department replaces fixed statutory filing schedules with rule-set schedules for reports, payments, refunds, and shrinkage-credit claims. Reports must include kilowatt-hours where applicable. Qualifying user refund applications still require at least $250 in refundable tax. The dispenser serves as the tax point for compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and other department-designated alternative fuels.
