A Frontier Group analysis has identified US states where electric vehicles pay more in road taxes than equivalent petrol-powered cars, though the report does not specify which states or the scale of the difference. The findings come as states grapple with replacing fuel-duty revenue as EV adoption grows. The research was published via Google News.
Why it matters: Uneven road-tax regimes can distort total cost of ownership calculations for fleet operators and public charging site developers, particularly where higher EV fees reduce the economic case for electrification or dampen local uptake.
