Commercial and noncommercial plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) have different fees in Georgia. Idaho is the only state that has a fee for conventional hybrid electric vehicles (without a plug). Highway maintenance has traditionally been funded from a combination of Federal and state taxes collected at the fuel pump.
