WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - U.S. House lawmakers proposed bipartisan legislation that would require electric vehicles to pay a $130 fee to pay for road repairs annually and $35 for some plug-in hybrid models.

The House is working on a five-year highway reauthorization bill expected to cost more than $500 billion ahead of the current law expiration on Sept 30. Most revenue for federally funded road repairs is collected through diesel and gasoline taxes, which EVs do not pay.
