New MIT research from Jessika Trancik @MIT shows:

• EVs already cut emissions for most U.S. drivers
• Many drivers save money over time
• Power systems matter for climate outcomes

Policy design will shape the future of transportation decarbonization.

"We should welcome the demand destruction we’re seeing” says Catherine Wolfram.

What’s demand destruction?
Prices ⬆️, people use less. That helps balance oil markets.

Her concern: people who can’t cut back, like commuters paying more for gas.

Pump prices are ⬆️, suspending federal gas tax likely won’t help much.

Prof. Gilbert Metcalf says:
• Gas/diesel taxes = small vs. 40%+ fuel price hikes
• Farmers are already exempt
• It could boost demand, raising prices
• Tax brings in ~$3.5B/month
