Anyone hear about how electricity will be taxed for use in electric
cars? Seems only fair that they be taxed on and equivalent CO2 or
energy basis at the same rate as gasoline and Diesel. Plug in and the
meter starts calculating your "auto only" rate based on your state,
electric generation being used, ie % Coal,nuke, hydro, wind, solar +
electrical system distribution losses....


Road tax by the mile. A functioning odometer is required by law on all
road vehicles. Mileage is reported at plate renewal.
VERY simple to add road tax to the licence fee.
