Bipartisan Bill Would Impose New Annual Fee on Electric Vehicles

  Of course it is about double the current ICE fuel tax. No good deed goes un-punished as they say.

  Of course, those that defy the petroleum oligarchy must be punished for their insolence.

  Hawaii has an excellent solution to this that isn't invasive and doesn't require any added technology [0]. Even in states without inspections, it could be a voluntary report and anyone who doesn't report is just charged the flat capped fee by default during registration. It will be expanded to all cars in 2028.

    Yeah I don't understand why we can't just charge owners by their mileage. The cars have odometers.
