9 The longstanding electric vehicle (EV) challenge of “range anxiety” is dissipating with the emergence of vehicles capable of traveling more than 200 miles on a single charge and growing recognition that most EV drivers do 80% of their charging at home. Nevertheless, a public EV charging station infrastructure will be required for urban dwellers who do not have dedicated parking and for longer trips. See Walton, R. (2019, May 29).

10 Electric vehicle drivers do not pay gasoline taxes, forcing states to find alternative ways to collect funds for roads and highways. National Governors Association will issue a separate white paper on this issue in the near future.
