Funding the Gap: Replacing the Vehicle Fuel Tax with What?

Transportation and mobility are critical to all societies—acting as the backbone and enabler for physical human and cultural connection and almost all global trade. However, that comes at a cost— transportation is the second highest industry contributor to climate change globally (electricity and heating being the first). The efforts from within the sector to decarbonize are essential to enable the sustainable growth of healthy and prosperous societies. One significant step is the move from fossil-fuel-powered vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs).
