(An The average price of US on-highway diesel was $5.718 per gallon, up $2.432 from a year ago. Hence, the importance of increasing crude oil production.
While Russia holds significant leverage in influencing oil and gas prices, it pales in comparison to China’s position in several strategic industries critical to the energy transition, says report author Michelle Michot Foss, fellow in energy and materials at the Baker Institute. —Baker Institute report Need Nickel?
users pay for the construction and maintenance of roads via a federal fueltax. Revenues from the tax go into the federal Highway Trust Fund, which is independent of the General Fund; every five years or so Congress passes an authorization bill to allocate these revenues. States use similar mechanisms. —Huang et al.
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 fueltaxes as drivers of gas-powered cars do at gas stations. Unfortunately there is currently no simple and agreed upon best replacement for the fueltax.
transportation, and ensure state fueltaxes can support all transportation modes. Managing traffic through congestion pricing tools and incentivize low-carbon transportation options through comprehensive commuter programs. States should seek to bring greater balance to their transportation investment plans.
Factors driving acceleration or deceleration of ZEV adoption include price, performance, choice, convenience, and public policy. Current trends suggest that barriers to EV adoption such as price, range, selection and charging-time will continue to diminish, as costs come down and technology improves. Grid overload is another concern.
While routine charging infrastructure maintenance is typically minimal, repairing broken chargers can be costly if out of warranty. Charging station operators should anticipate maintenance costs of up to US$400 annually , per charger, with fast DC chargers costing double that amount. EV charging stations in several U.S.
This TCO issue is critical because electric vehicles (EVs) are likely to be superior on a TCO basis in less than 10 years, but buyers base their decision more on the EV purchase price, which is not optimal for the economy nor the environment. Transportation pricing: Gasoline taxes. Dense urban area cordon pricing.

Governments have offered subsidies or tax rebates to make EVs more appealing, a policy which the U.S.
If you’re curious why there are so many mysteriously sized vehicles carrying ludicrously high price tags these days, it’s a combination of bad regulations and old-fashioned corporate greed.

Transitioning from Time-Based to kWh Pricing At the beginning of the EV industry, charging fees were based on time, where EV owners paid for the duration of their charging sessions. With the rise of EVs, there’s a shift toward kWh-based pricing , which aligns more closely with the conventional model of gasoline refueling.
Miller of Synovate believes that in the US “ 20% of the people are willing to pay up to 10% of the vehicle’s purchase price more (i.e. We’re not sure how much maintenance cost you are going to incur and quite frankly you many need to replace the battery pack after 3-4 years and it may cost between $3,000-$5,000.
