How would it be collected (with today's infrastructure)? They don't
use gas, so obviously don't pay the gas (road) tax.


It's not that hard - you just build it into the annual

GPS-transponders that record your in-state mileage driven.
Periodically,you have the car's "black box" downloaded and get mailed a
