House lawmakers made public a massive transportation bill Sunday that would impose new fees on electric vehicles as gasoline prices surge following the Iran war.

The roughly $580 billion legislation, released as part of a deal between Democratic and Republican members of the House transportation committee, would impose an annual registration fee of $130, gradually rising biennially to $150, per electric vehicle and as much as $50 for hybrids.
