Gas taxes are typically collected at the point of sale, where consumers pay a specified amount per gallon of gasoline purchased, this is not the case with Electric Vehicles.
Perhaps a revenue neutral swap of gas taxes for GHG taxes would be helpful. A mechanism to distribute revenue to local and regional areas for transport infrastructure would be needed - that could be a tall order. The swap would likely have a Pigouvian effect of expanding natural gas and fission capacity vs coal.
