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

Even right now, most if not all states have "road use" taxes.
If you buy retail motor fuel, the tax is built in. If you have
a vehicle that is powered by some other fuel (experimental
liquids, electric, 55-Gal drums of Diesel, or your own pump in
the back yard) you are supposed to pay road use tax by the mile.
You can get hit with big fines if you are intentionally avoiding
the taxes. This has all been in place for many years.
