The Impact of EV Infrastructure on Transportation Revenues

This research will examine the impact installing electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure could have on state transportation revenue streams. Federal and state transportation funds are being directed to install vehicle charging infrastructure, while an increase in electric vehicles will reduce those funds under the current revenue options. Fuel tax revenues have been steadily declining due to both increased fuel efficiency and increased sales of alternative fueled vehicles, such as EVs. Charging infrastructure enables the switch to an EV, but subsequently reduces transportation revenues. TTI will look at changes to various revenue scenarios that could be used to recoup the foregone revenue. The research team will also consider the environmental cost savings from a switch to EVs taking into account the energy mix of the state using the GREET model.
