Default OT- taxing the "fuel" on an electric car?

Been looking at the # of companies that have invested in battery

cars on the road faster than I thought they were going to be. How do
you think governments that rely on fuel taxes are going to tax
electric cars *to make up for the shortfall. Just curious... Pat


IIRC when Diesel cars came out New Hampshire had the options of a
fixed weight-based fee added to the registration or a mileage tax. I
never had one but the Rabbit's fixed fee was quite low.
