The GFEI, a partnership of international agencies and top energy policy experts, suggests that these cost savings could in part be used to help offset the costs of developing a global market for electric vehicles over this time frame, since the savings are estimated to be at least four times bigger than these costs. per liter ($0.26/gallon

The report shows that projected global ZEV adoption from 2015 to 2039 (based on the BNEF 2017 forecast) may follow an s-curve, similar to that of smartphone adoption in the US from 2005 to 2015. The growth of ZEVs represents a potential drain on motor vehicle fuel taxes, which could affect state transportation revenue.

International cooperation will be necessary to resolve problems in maritime and air transport, but action on cars and trucks can be taken at a national or state level. Europe has gasoline taxes over $4 per gallon and still finds the need to adopt aggressive performance standards for cars to reduce GHGs and oil use.
