What’s in it

Under current law, an excise tax of 2.6 cents is imposed on each kilowatt hour of electric fuel delivered or placed into the battery or other energy storage device of an electric motor vehicle at a location in Iowa, other than a residence. In addition, the department of agriculture and land stewardship (DALS) is required to provide for a biennial inspection of each charging station through which electric fuel can be dispensed if the charging station is owned by a licensed electric fuel dealer or licensed electric fuel user. This bill limits the imposition of the electric fuel excise tax to electric fuel exchanged for a fee, and the DALS inspection requirement to charging stations that dispense electric fuel in exchange for a fee.
