New polling shows a majority of registered voters in Utah support a new law which shaves two cents off the state gas tax but imposes a 12.5% tax on electric vehicle charging stations that levy fees to motorists.
The results reflect what the bill's sponsor, House Majority Leader Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, said is a matter of fairness with higher prices at the pump and the reality that electric vehicles and hybrids still result in wear and tear on Utah's roadways.HB301The poll was conducted March 14-22 tapping the views of 801 registered voters in Utah with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.46%.
Polling shows that only 12% of Utah residents own a hybrid or electric vehicle, with 88% who have yet to take the leap. Residents making more than $100,000 a year were more likely to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle than those under that annual salary, with the exception of wage earners in the $35,000 to $49,000 income bracket who also expressed a strong desire to get into a hybrid or electric vehicle.
