Trump's DOT Nominee Sean Duffy Proposes Fees for Electric Vehicles to Use Roads
Jan 15, 2025, 05:22 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to head the U.S. Department of Transportation, Sean Duffy, has stated that electric vehicles (EVs) should pay fees to use roads. Duffy made these comments during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee. He noted the challenge in implementing such a policy, as most revenue for federally-funded road repairs comes from taxes on diesel and gasoline, which EVs do not pay. Duffy's stance aligns with broader political discussions around EVs, reflecting the incoming administration's approach to transportation and environmental policies.
