Car fleet composition in the EU under the different scenarios. reduction in global oil consumption results in a drop in global oil prices of 1.2%. The obvious one is increased fuel taxes, but somehow governments need to make sure the benefits of better technology aren’t wiped out by increased demand for lower-priced fuel.

The report argues that the biggest component of total transport reductions could come from more energy-efficient vehicles, combined with the gradual introduction of low-carbon fuels and new engine technologies. Improving the energy efficiency of vehicles (including hybridization) has “ huge potential ”, both in the short and long run.

As a result, regulations and guidelines related to electric vehicles are changing frequently, and consumers and charging station hosts must be aware of new developments. As both EV adoption increases and internal combustion engine vehicles have become more fuel efficient, states are seeking to offset lost revenue from the gas tax.

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries.
