Another possibility would be to build it into the electric meter where
the car is charged. They already have plans to use time-of-use meters,
with preferential rates to encourage battgery charging during off-peak
hours.

Looks like I'll have to build a wind generator to charge my electric
car. ;-)

You make it sound so ONIMOUS. Currently, gas taxes pay for the roads.
If the number of electric cars becomes significant, it is perfectly
logical to shift some of the cost to them. What would YOU suggest?

I pay taxes now and the roads aren't in that great a shape.
