We are acquiring a vehicle whose only power source is electricity. Are there any special rules regarding fuel taxes?
Yes. Electricity, solar power, or any other power source not otherwise taxed under the motor fuel laws, is considered an “alternative” fuel. Any vehicle “solely” powered by an alternative fuel is subject to a fee, imposed at the rate of $75 per registration year. This fee will be collected by the Nebraska Department of Revenue subsequent to notification by the county treasurer registering the vehicle.
