EV Taxes: Road Funding's Red Herring
12 Feb 2026 | Abstracted from Electrification Coalition
The article argues that EVs aren’t to blame for shrinking road‑funding revenue. The real issue is the outdated gas‑tax system, which hasn’t kept up with inflation or rising fuel efficiency. EV‑specific fees raise little money and distract from needed, fuel‑neutral reforms. The authors call for fairer long‑term solutions like mileage‑based fees or weight‑based charges instead of targeting EV drivers.
