Essentially, EV drivers would have to pay additional taxes somewhere between $240 and $400 a year because politicians in the state want them to pay for the equivalent of fuel taxes they would otherwise pay, Clean Technica reported.
The bill consists of a $190 to $240 annual EV fee, a $150+ fee for driving 9,000 miles/year, and a $10 annual surcharge for a new charging infrastructure advisory council.
The bill is sponsored by two Republicans, Sens. Charles Schwertner and Robert Nichols, and one Democrat, Sen. Beverly Powell.
Senator Schwertner is a physician who was backed by several energy firms like Atmos Energy Corporation PAC, Entergy Corporation Political Action Committee (EnPAC), and CenterPoint Energy, Inc. Texas Political Action Committee, to name a few, during his recent election, according to Transparency USA.

Elon Musk recently reposted an advertisement for Tesla for Gigafactory Texas openings that are now accepting jobs until 2022, with over 10,000 openings and spots to fill. This would be the first job offer from Tesla after it moved its base to Texas which is now on the verge of its Gigafactory, and the openings do not require a college degree to apply with.

FUERSTENWALDE, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 03: Tesla head Elon Musk talks to the press as he arrives to have a look at the construction site of the new Tesla Gigafactory near Berlin on September 03, 2020 near Gruenheide, Germany.

New Factories Bring Lots of Excitement and New Logistical Hurdles
Tesla has two new factories that are being staffed with new workers. Tesla’s plan is to hire 10,000 new workers for the Austin Gigafactory. New residential housing also needs to be built for workers stationed at the Berlin Gigafactory.

Tesla first said that they planned to hire at least 5,000 workers to work at the Austin Gigafactory. That minimum number could be doubled as the goal now is to hire 10,000 workers. Musk tweeted, “Over 10,000 people are needed for Giga Texas just through 2022-5 mins from airport-15 mins from downtown- right on Colorado river.” Tesla already made it clear they needed workers, but they appear to be ramping up hiring efforts even more now. In order to hire these new workers, Tesla has to promote these open positions. Tesla has done so through partnering with various colleges.
