According to the Federal Highway Administration, the average fuel economy for all light vehicles on the road today is 22.3 The Federal tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon, and each state has a gasoline tax, ranging from 8.95 Based on a vehicle with an average fuel economy of 22.3 cents in Alaska to 58.7
In the Pre-Budget Report (PBR) released on 9 December, UK Chancellor Alistair Darling announced that all electric cars will be exempt from Company Car Tax (CCT) for 5 years and electric vans will be exempt from Van Benefit Charge (VBC) for the same period. The PBR also has news of an additional £30 million (US$48.5 Earlier post.).
Would a by-the-kilowatt-hour charging tax help states recover infrastructure funds from dwindling gas tax revenues? And we bring you range and road-trip charging impressions for the 2021 VW ID.4. Volvo is moving to online-only sales, starting with its EVs. Volkswagen looks ahead to its 2026 EVs. Volvo is.
Direct transportation (fuel) taxes generate the greatest reductions in CO 2 emission from transportation, achieving CO 2 emissions at 86% of 2005 levels by about 2025. While CO 2 prices are equivalent to fueltaxes, CO 2 prices at their projected levels are far too small to create a significant incentive to drive less.
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.
Which electric SUV arriving later this year makes an “awesome car-camping setup,” according to the company’s CEO? Owners of which electric vehicle will soon get new battery packs in the U.S. and elsewhere? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending March 12, 2021.
The electrical efficiency as an indicator of the economical operation of the micro-CHP unit exceeds 26.3%, outperforming all comparable micro-CHP systems in the lower output range. euro cents per kilowatt hour) and will also be free from electricity tax for an unlimited period. Users will benefit from a CHP bonus (currently 5.11
The policy package includes a new fuel economy readiness index, which measures the extent to which countries have implemented steps that will fully exploit the potential of existing fuel economy technologies and maximise their use in vehicles.
Making conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles more expensive to run—through increased fuel or carbon taxes—is not enough to incentivize the majority of consumers to change. However, carbon taxes can be critical in pushing electricity providers to decarbonize their operations. Click to enlarge.
The TOSCA data covering all major transportation modes and its explicit treatment of uncertainty suggests a new study is justified which looks at what range of reductions in emissions is possible over different scenarios and uncertain input values. With R&D plus a €100/t CO 2 carbon tax, lifecycle CO 2 emissions reduction doubles to 16?19%
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. Main additional measures would be full hybridization of a much wider range of vehicles (possibly including, but not requiring, plug-in hybrid vehicle technologies).
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. Performance: Battery range has been increasing annually. In 2017, Tesla Model S had the farthest EPA-rated range for an all-electric vehicle, at 315 miles.
ton 100 miles+ range van and the Newton is 7.5-12 12 ton truck with 100 mile range used by local delivery services and courier services. In May 2008, the Telegraph newspaper in the UK reported that British drivers paid 57 pence/liter or $2.99/ gallon of diesel in excise tax which doesn’t include the value added tax.
In addition, although many experts say that the solution to our energy and climate problems is sending the correct price signals to industry and consumers, the transport sector’s behavior is highly inelastic in that it does not change significantly in response to changes in fuel prices, at least in the range that is politically acceptable.
per gallon fueltax by 2050) could result in an additional reduction of 28% in GHG emissions. Given this, a broad range of other strategies may be considered to reduce the GHG impact of transportation services. Highlights of the nine categories analyzed in the Moving Cooler report include: Pricing and taxes. percent to 3.6
Creating a National Transportation Strategic Plan, based on long-range highway, transit, and rail plans developed by States and metropolitan regions, to develop intermodal connectivity of the nation’s transportation system and identify projects of national significance. The Fund is replenished by revenue collected from motor fueltaxes.
The proposed solicitation will cover a broad range of advanced fossil energy projects. Other efforts include collaborating with partners around the world on eliminating fossil fueltax subsidies; leading global sector public financing towards cleaner energy; and strengthening global resilience to climate change.
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. With states enacting new kWh taxes on EVs and EV charging, we want to make sure you have the right information. kWh tax begins on July 1, 2025.
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. The International Energy Agency.
The vehicles themselves likewise aren’t yet well suited to being a household’s only vehicle due to the fact that their true range is limited by how quickly they can charge away from home. In many cases, charging locations aren’t even available. But let’s not presume that the industry is exclusively the victim here.
Volkswagen has introduced the new BiFuel model version of the Golf Plus to cut CO2 emissions by more than 10 per cent and offer fuel savings of €6.10 This impressive reduction is in part due to the reduced German fueltax in place until 2018. The LPG tank alone has a range of about 440 kilometres.
Operating and Maintaining an EV Charging Network Operating and maintaining EV charging networks, like any modern business, includes a range of cost factors. But free public charging has caught to attention of local and state governments as a tax revenue generator (or a tax loophole). EV charging stations in several U.S.
A mountain lion from the Santa Ana range in California approaches a road. For Southern California mountain lions, even one lion making it across a road instead of being killed can be very significant for populations like the ones in the Santa Monica or Santa Ana mountain ranges.

The report calls for a 20-year “blueprint for action,” which includes creating an “Interstate Highway System Renewal and Modernization Program,” increasing the federal fueltax to help pay for it, and allowing tolls and per-mile-charges on more interstate routes. National Academy of Sciences.
The car will be a “sporty sedan” that will set “new standards” in range and charging, as well as pioneer a new business model that charges customers to activate software-based features, VW said in a press release. ” – March 7, Business Insider via Yahoo Finance. Jeff Howe, R-Rockville.
The market for pure BEVs is likely to be limited because their inherently limited driving range and long recharging times, and their high cost, make them less attractive to purchasers looking for an all-purpose vehicle.
