Trump nominee says electric vehicles should pay to use roads

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to head the U.S. Transportation Department said Wednesday electric vehicles should pay to use roads.

Most revenue for federally-funded road repairs is collected through taxes on diesel and gasoline, which EVs do not pay. “They should pay for use of our roads. How to do that, I think, is a little more challenging,” said Sean Duffy, a former Republican lawmaker at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee.
