1. Hybrid electric vehicle definition
Under current law, in addition to an annual registration fee, DOT adds a surcharge of $75 for a motor truck or automobile that is a hybrid electric vehicle. Current law defines a hybrid electric vehicle to mean “a vehicle that is capable of using gasoline, diesel fuel, or alternative fuel to propel the vehicle but that is propelled to a significant extent by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery that has a capacity of not less than 4 kilowatt hours and may be capable of being recharged from an external source of electricity.” This bill replaces the current definition of hybrid electric vehicle and defines the term to mean “a vehicle that is capable of using both electricity and gasoline, diesel fuel, or alternative fuel to propel the vehicle.”
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 341.25 (1) (L) 1. b. of the statutes is amended to read:
341.25 (1) (L) 1. b. “Hybrid electric vehicle” means a vehicle that is capable of using both electricity and gasoline, diesel fuel, or alternative fuel to propel the vehicle but that is propelled to a significant extent by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery that has a capacity of not less than 4 kilowatt hours and may be capable of being recharged from an external source of electricity.
