In a letter sent to President Biden on 15 June, the AFPM (American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers) and the API (American Petroleum Institute) listed what they called seven realities about the current situtation: Refined product prices are determined on the global markets. Hence, the importance of increasing crude oil production.

As pointed out by a Texas Electric Transportation Resources Alliance representative, gas vehicle owners already pay their fair share for road repair via gas taxes collected at the pump. EV owners would be paying for the same benefits via this tax. It’s unclear if this European-style tax system will come to the U.S.,

MARCH 6, 2009

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. The report cites a number of policy options to support achieving the goal, including: Fuel economy or CO 2 emission standards. Vehicle taxes and incentives.

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.

Study Finds That CO2 Standards for Vehicles Can Reduce Price of Oil

A new study by the French institute Enerdata, commissioned by the European Federation for Transport & Environment (T&E), suggests that the European CO 2 standards for new vehicles due to come into effect in 2012 will lead not only to a European savings on oil (mainly via lower oil import volumes) but also to slightly lower global oil prices.

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.

As a result, BCG concludes, the electric car faces stiff competition from ICEs (internal combustion engines) and, based solely on total cost of ownership (TCO) economics, will not be the preferred option for most consumers. BCG finds that ICE technologies can reduce CO 2 emissions up to 40% at a cost as low as $50 per percentage of reduction.
