The Georgia House and Senate last night passed the Transportation Funding Act of 2015 (HB 170) which primarily raises the gas tax, but also eliminates the $5,000 tax credit for zero emission vehicles effective July 1, 2015. Additionally, there will be a new $200 annual registration fee for all vehicles fueled solely by electricity. There had been efforts to sunset the credit over the next few years, but once removing the credit got attached to the transportation bill, all efforts at a compromise were defeated. Georgia is currently the #2 state for electric vehicles, but will likely slip far from that position when the massive number of Nissan LEAF 2 year leases get returned.
