Washoe County has experienced an increase in electric vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) since June 2020. The increase in EVs and HEVs represents a positive step in meeting clean air standards; however, this growth has had an impact on fuel consumption and taxable gallons of gasoline sold in Washoe County, thus reducing funding available for road construction and maintenance.

This study examines policy interventions other states have implemented to address the growth of EVs and HEVs and their impact on fuel tax collections.
