Electric Vehicles

I don't think that will ever happen. It would be political suicide for a legislature/governor/president to pass major gas tax increases.

Almost every adult American owns a car. Our public transportation exists in major cities but is very poor. Our housing densities are also pretty bad because most families want to live in a big, American house. Most suburbs in the US are terrible for even walking because they have few sidewalks and you have to walk in the road.

As an example, when I worked in the office my drive in a car was about 30 minutes each way. If I wanted to take bus / train that would have at least doubled IF I made the 2 connections perfectly (which would probably never happen). Good chance it would take 1.5 hours most of the time. And I would not have been able to pick up my son from school to have time with him because I'd have to take public transportation 5 cities over, about 21 miles (35 km) which would take hours on public transportation so I'd have to leave work at lunchtime.

The path away from ICE in the US is EVs or similar (hyrdogen, etc.). And improving infrastructure to lessen the need for cars. Few politicians would try to boost the gas taxes much at all. Even small increases in the gas tax are unpopular.
