That will be from tolls. You know, like the Ohio Turnpike. More and more roads will become toll roads and electric and ICE will use EasyPass.
It cost me $60 one way to get to central Ohio from IL
More tolls is how roads will be funded when gas consumption decreases.
Never heard of Jevon's Paradox, have you?

So you think that more fuel-efficient ICE, hybrid and electric cars will lower the demand for gas enough that the price falls and people will just buy more gas because it is cheap?

When cars became more fuel-efficient, people started driving more. This is an example of the Jevons Paradox because instead of saving gas from the better mileage, people used it as a reason to drive longer distances or more often, which led to more gas being used overall.
1) EVs are fucked. At best, they have plateaud in market share.
If people want zero emissions ride a fucking horse. Seriously. They're modestly fast in an urban settings. Exponentially cheaper than any EV on the market. Feed is less than gas.

You ever own a horse? They're not cheap, they need regular maintenance, you can't just have one, you need at least two, or some other companion animal like a donkey or something.
My grandparents had horses when they were young instead of cars, they would never want to go back to that.
I'm in the country. I literally was hanging out with horse people Sunday. Hell weekly, good people. It's cheaper than a Tesla by a large margin. They could ride it into town in 4 minutes if they wanted to go quick.
We have human shit on streets in cities, so what's the difference?
Well, I know how inconvenient they are.
I don't think the EV lovers understand this. A good percentage of the population simply won't buy them, specifically men.
An emissions reduction program by an environmental regulator will lead to a 50-cent per gallon of gasoline increase, according to a report by a state environment regulator.
Last year the California Air Resources Board (CARB) said gas prices would increase by 50 cents next year and every year after in order to reduce emissions.
This is in addition to California’s existing gas tax!
Retirement communities are big on EV golf carts. My parents have one as do most of their neighbors.
New Report Blames Climate Policies for California’s High Gas Prices After Newsom Claimed It Was ‘Big Oil’
A new report from the Energy Policy Research Foundation (EPRF) has concluded that California’s “climate change” policies are to blame for the state’s soaring gas prices.
The confirmation comes despite insistence from Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom that “Big Oil” was to blame for the state’s higher-than-average fuel prices.
According to the EPRF analysis by researcher Max Pyziur, California has several climate policies impacting gasoline prices that are unique to the state.
AAA reported that the average gas price nationwide was around $3.17 a gallon.
In California, however, the average price is $4.67 a gallon.
The study by Pyzier pointed out that gasoline formulations exceeding EPA standards account for 16 cents a gallon of added cost.
California’s Cap and Trade program, an attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions, is another cause of the higher prices.
This program caps greenhouse gas emissions and charges a fee for those who exceed the “caps.”
California also has an excise tax of 58 cents per gallon, which was only 18 cents a gallon in 2000.
The combination of these policies has made gas cost an average of $1 more per gallon in 2022 and 2023.
AAA reported that the average gas price nationwide was around $3.17 a gallon.
In California, however, the average price is $4.67 a gallon.
