An NEV is an electric vehicle that has three or four wheels and is capable of achieving speeds between 20 miles per hour (mph) and 25 mph on a paved level surface. An NEV must be titled according to state law and may be operated on public streets and highways if it meets all equipment and vehicle safety requirements in Title 49 of the [Code of Federal Regulations](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/cfr), section 571.500, and successor requirements. An NEV may not operate on a roadway with a speed limit greater than 35 mph, except to cross that roadway. A road authority may prohibit or further restrict the operation of NEVs on any street or highway under the road authority's jurisdiction.

Technologies: Aftermarket Conversions, EVs, Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Natural Gas, PHEVs, Propane (LPG)
Gross vehicle weight rating limits for AFVs are 2,000 pounds greater than those for comparable conventional vehicles, as long as the AFVs operate using an alternative fuel or both alternative and conventional fuel, when operating on a highway that is not part of the interstate system. For the purpose of this exemption,...
Gross vehicle weight rating limits for AFVs are 2,000 pounds greater than those for comparable conventional vehicles, as long as the AFVs operate using an alternative fuel or both alternative and conventional fuel, when operating on a highway that is not part of the interstate system. For the purpose of this exemption, alternative fuel is defined as compressed natural gas, propane, ethanol, or any mixture containing 85% or more ethanol (E85) with gasoline or other fuels, electricity, or any other fuels, which may include clean diesel and reformulated gasoline, so long as the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission determines that these other fuels result in comparable reductions in carbon monoxide emissions and brown cloud pollutants. (Reference [Colorado Revised Statutes 42-4-508](https://leg.colorado.gov/))
State Incentives
Idle Reduction and Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Weight Exemption
Technologies: Idle Reduction, Natural Gas
Any diesel vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with idle reduction technology may exceed the state's gross and axle weight limits by up to 400 pounds (lbs.) to compensate for the additional weight of the idle reduction technology. Upon request, vehicle operators must be able to provide written proof of the tech...
Any diesel vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with idle reduction technology may exceed the state's gross and axle weight limits by up to 400 pounds (lbs.) to compensate for the additional weight of the idle reduction technology. Upon request, vehicle operators must be able to provide written proof of the technology's weight and that the idle reduction technology is fully functional at all times. A vehicle primarily powered by natural gas may exceed the state's gross vehicle weight limits by a weight equal to the difference between the weight of the vehicle with the natural gas tank and fueling system and the weight of a comparable vehicle with a diesel tank and fueling system. The NGV maximum gross weight may not exceed 82,000 lbs. (Reference [Kansas Statutes 8-1909, and 8-1917](http://www.kslegislature.org/li/))

⚡ EVState Agency Alternative Fuel Use and Vehicle Acquisition Requirement
Technologies: Biodiesel, Ethanol, EVs, Natural Gas, PHEVs
The Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration (DPA) requires all state-owned diesel vehicles and equipment to be fueled with a diesel blend of 20% biodiesel (B20), subject to the availability of the fuel and so long as the price differential is not greater than \$0.10 more per gallon compared to conventional ...
The Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration (DPA) requires all state-owned diesel vehicles and equipment to be fueled with a diesel blend of 20% biodiesel (B20), subject to the availability of the fuel and so long as the price differential is not greater than \$0.10 more per gallon compared to conventional diesel. Biodiesel is defined as fuel composed of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from plant or animal matter that meets ASTM specifications and is produced in Colorado. DPA must increase the use of alternative fuels and establish objectives to increase its use for each succeeding year. DPA must purchase motor vehicles that operate on compressed natural gas (CNG), electric vehicles, or vehicles that operate on other alternative fuels, subject to the availability of vehicles and adequate fueling infrastructure and assuming the incremental base or life cycle cost of the vehicle is not more than 10% over the cost of a comparable dedicated conventional vehicle. Some vehicles may be exempt from this requirement if available alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) do not meet application requirements. On or before November 1 of each year, DPA must submit a report to the general assembly outlining vehicle purchases, including alternative fuel and conventional vehicles; alternative fueling infrastructure availability in the state; AFV purchase exemptions; administrative policies in place to facilitate the purchase of AFVs; suggested changes to facilitate the gradual conversion of the motor vehicle fleet to AFVs; and a plan for the necessary infrastructure development. (Reference [Executive Order D 2015-013, 2015](https://www.colorado.gov/governor/executive-orders) and [Colorado Revised Statutes 24-30-1104](http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/Colorado/))

All gasoline sold in the state must be blended with at least 10% ethanol (E10). Gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or above is exempt from this mandate, as is gasoline sold for use in certain non-road applications. Gasoline that contains at least 9.2% agriculturally derived ethanol that meets [ASTM](%20https://www.astm.org/Standard/index.html) Standard D4806 complies with the mandate. For the purpose of the mandate, ethanol must meet [ASTM](%20https://www.astm.org/Standard/index.html) Standard D4806. The governor may suspend the renewable fuels mandate for ethanol if the Oregon Department of Energy finds that a sufficient amount of ethanol is not available. All diesel fuel sold in the state must be blended with at least 5% biodiesel (B5). For the purpose of this mandate, biodiesel is defined as a motor vehicle fuel derived from vegetable oil, animal fat, or other non-petroleum resources, that is designated as B100 and complies with [ASTM](%20https://www.astm.org/Standard/index.html) Standard D6751. Renewable diesel qualifies as a substitute for biodiesel in the blending requirement. In addition, diesel fuel blends sold between October 1 and February 28 may contain additives to prevent congealing or gelling. At any time, the Oregon Department of Energy may request a certificate of fuel analysis for biodiesel sold at any non-retail and wholesale biodiesel dealer. (Reference [Oregon Revised Statutes 646.913 through 646.923](https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/) and [Oregon Administrative Rules 603-027-0410 and 603-027-0420](https://www.oregon.gov/OWRD/programs/policylawandrules/OARS/Pages/default.aspx))

Special fuels, including biodiesel, biodiesel blends, biomass-based diesel, biomass-based diesel blends, and liquefied natural gas (LNG), have a reduced tax rate of \$0.27 per gallon. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or propane) and compressed natural gas (CNG) are taxed at a rate of \$0.064 and \$0.21 per gallon, respectively. For taxation purposes, a gallon is measured as 5.66 pounds (lbs.) or 126.67 cubic feet of CNG, 4.2 lbs. or 36.3 cubic feet of LPG, or 6.06 lbs. of LNG. These tax rates are only applicable in counties with populations between 100,000 and 700,000 residents.

Publicly and privately owned EVs may charge at state office locations if the vehicles are used for state business, conducting business with the state, or as commuter vehicles. Additionally, contingent upon funding, the state must install electrical outlets suitable for charging EVs in each of the state's fleet parking and maintenance facilities as well as every state-operated highway rest stop. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) may report to the governor and the legislature on the amount of electricity consumed and the number of EVs using state-owned charging equipment if it represents a significant cost to the state. Additionally, DES must report to the Legislature by June 30, 2025 on when and where EV charging was installed and the state agencies and facilities that benefit from its installation. The [2023 -- 2025 Annual Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Installation Report](https://des.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2025-06/EV-charging-equipment-installation-report-FY25.pdf) was published in June 2025. Past reports are available on the website and future reports are due on June 30 of each year. (Reference [Revised Code of Washington 43.01.250, 43.19.648, and 47.38.075](http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/) and [Senate Bill 5161, 2025](http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/))
