YANKTON, SD (KELO.com) — The move to electric vehicles is just beginning, and officials are warning of a hidden cost. State Senator Jean Hunhoff chairs the legislature’s appropriations committee. She says gasoline taxes, which pay for road maintenance, will be lost.
The problem would be monumental for state government, and even worse for county governments that are already financially strapped.
Hunhoff says it isn’t a huge problem now, but it will be in the future as more EV’s take to the roads.
