Summary

The bill amends Virginia’s motor‑vehicle tax code to exempt certain electric cars from the sales and use tax when they are registered for the first time in the Commonwealth. To qualify, the buyer must have owned the vehicle for less than 12 months, provide proof they purchased it while a resident of another state, and meet a defined battery‑size and range standard. The change aims to encourage electric‑vehicle adoption while preserving tax revenue for other purchases.
