> Owing to the federal government-prodded transition to electric vehicles (EVs) to combat something called “climate change,” ... In this case, said birds are: getting rid of gas-powered cars, inventing for themselves a brand-new revenue generation scheme, and instituting even more tracking power to make sure the peasants behave themselves. Lol, wtf is this website? If you go to read the actual reporting, the Oregon administrators are much more even-keeled about the thing: > "I understand that concern, but anybody that has a cell phone — the ability is already there for it to be tracked," Lively said. "Your cell phone is probably the most trackable device we own and almost everybody has one. But there are several options. We made options that people could just annually, monthly turn in their mileage. So they can tell us where the mileage started, where the mileage didn't, so that's one way they can report versus reporting from the car — so there's several ways in which people can report their mileage. > "But the key in doing it automatically is the systems now in place allow us to know whether they're driving on state highways or private roads, because our goal isn't to charge you for driving on private roads but only when they're using the state transportation system." https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/the-story/odot-gas-tax-electric-vehicle-pay-per-mile/283-fad1a341-0550-4c70-aa93-bfe5ead3f4c4 https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/the-story/odot-gas-ta...
