1. A computer implemented method comprising:
predicting, by a number of processor units, an incremental degradation of a battery of a transportation vehicle while traveling on a route using a number of battery degradation parameters and a current condition of the battery as inputs in an artificial intelligence enabled system trained using historical battery degradation parameters;
calculating, by the number of processor units, an equivalent carbon footprint based on the incremental degradation of the battery of the transportation vehicle;
calculating, by the number of processor units, an equivalent carbon footprint tax based on the equivalent carbon footprint;
assessing, by the number of processor units, the equivalent carbon footprint tax against the transportation vehicle; and
inhibiting, by the number of processor units, operation of the transportation vehicle, in response to a denial to levy the equivalent carbon footprint tax from the transportation vehicle, comprising controlling the transportation vehicle by switching the transportation vehicle to a limp mode.
