Implications of Electric Vehicle Penetration on Federal and State Highway Revenues

项目名称：	Implications of Electric Vehicle Penetration on Federal and State Highway Revenues
摘要：	Gasoline taxes account for $31.1 billion or about 87% of the Federal Highway Trust Fund (HTF). This project examined the impact of present and future electric vehicles sales on the HTF. A report presented the project results which showed that the market penetration of electric vehicle (EV) sales has been increasing, but EVs have resulted in very little impact on gas tax revenues. As of August 2015, the lost gas tax revenue from EV sales of 365,000 vehicles is shown to be $71.5 million or a percentage loss of 0.23%. The report also examines the implications and needs in HTF funding. According to numerous references, the HTF has experienced a continuing shortfall that is attributed to three major factors; more fuel efficient internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, increasing inflation, no increases in federal gas rates since 1993 and increased cost in highway construction and repairs. In December 2015, the Congress passed and the President signed a $300 billion, five year, transportation bill that funds the nation's highways and other infrastructure. This long-term bill is called the FAST Act (Fixing America's Surface Transportation).
