Some Officials in government want to tax you vehicle based on miles driven. I wonder how they plan to control this? For the most part passenger vehicles dont have much wear and tare on the roadways. It is more the weight of the vehicles. So trucks and vans and larger vehicles are the ones that should pay more tax.

Taxing Electric Cars
"Starting in February the state of Washington will tax electric vehicle owners $100 per year. It's estimated there are a little more than 1,500 electric cars in Washington.
The money raised will go to the state's road maintenance fund. In essence, Washington wants electric car owners to pay $100 for the privilege of driving around the state."
First the government wanted manufacturers to get a lower MPG to produce less pollution and better gas economy. Now they are saying this causes a shortfall in Gas Tax revenues so they cant afford to repair the roads. So after all these years of telling us we need to get more MPG to cut down on pollution, the government wants to punish automobile owners for doing what they wanted them to do.
No good deed goes unpunished.
