States rely on gas taxes to fund road improvements and repairs. Since electric vehicles (EVs) don’t use gas , they don’t contribute to this fund. No matter what we drive, we all want smooth roads and safe bridges. To address these, state legislatures can adjust gas taxes to make up funding gaps and index them to inflation.
