Is A Tax On Electricity (kWh) Consumed The Best Way to Supplement the Fuel Tax for Electric Vehicles?

EV Adoption

JULY 4, 2022

As sales of electric vehicles begin to reach significant numbers across the US, states are exploring approaches to replace lost tax revenue since EV drivers don’t pay fuel taxes as drivers of gas-powered cars do at gas stations. Unfortunately there is currently no simple and agreed upon best replacement for the fuel tax.

Sivak found that while the vehicle fuel economy of the entire light-duty fleet improved by 40% (from 13 mpg US to 21.6 l/100km), because of the decrease in vehicle load, the occupant fuel economy only improved by 17% (from 24.8 occupants carried) decreased by 27% (from 1.9 mpg US, or from 18.1 l/100km to 10.9

(Since some 36% of diesel is used off-road, such as on farms, by manufacturing, industrial and commercial ventures, and boats, a fuel tax for road use would impose an unfair burden onto these sectors, the government says.). The financial impact is similar for a light diesel vehicle subject to road user charges. tonnes or less.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has estimated that fuel consumption and emissions of CO 2 from the world’s cars will roughly double between 2000 and 2050. Worldwide, cars currently account for close to half of the transport sector’s fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. Click to enlarge. litres per 100 km).

In our study we focus on cars, while the EU also imposed the emission targets for vans (which account for around 10% of the EU market for light-duty vehicles) and considered a strategy to reduce CO 2 emissions from trucks, buses, and coaches.

It also discusses fuel taxes and prices, which affect both travel and vehicle choices. Policies to promote these options include travel planning, fuel and road price increases, dedicated infrastructure or prioritization for non-motorized modes, and training and education campaigns. But there is a bigger picture.

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. Then there is the fuel cycle—the activities associated with producing and using the fuel or electricity to power the vehicle through its working life. EVs have finally come of age.
