“which would charge drivers based on the number of miles they drive rather than how much gas they purchase”
Will this mean they’ll repeal all the state taxes on gas if this charge is implemented?
I’ve always believed this is the real reason behind the big fed gov push for EVs.....the left can’t stand freedom and want complete control.
They want to know where we are every second.
Don’t pay your taxes.....they shut off your car.
They believe your spreading what they deem in misinformation.....they shut off your car.
Speak your mind on line......taxes.....they shut off your car.
They’re trying to force the populations to stay within certain geographic boundaries. The Fifteen-Minute City Plan.
“California, which relies on gas tax and other fuel tax revenues to support its roadway maintenance, is piloting the idea of a “road charge,” which would charge drivers based on the number of miles they drive rather than how much gas they purchase.”
That’s how they sell it.
But if they’re TRACKING, then ‘they’ will have FAR MORE capability than just adding up miles. Here’s just 5 that quickly come to mind:
1. Time of day / Day of week pricing
2. Specific road/highway pricing
3. Income-based pricing (as they’re now doing with electricity there)
4. Vehicle-based pricing (car cost more, pay more per mile)
5. Penalty pricing (drove when you were not supposed to, or exceeded your mileage ration)
Good luck Californians, you will need it!
You pay tax on the number of gallons (i.e., BTUs) of gasoline you pump into your car’s tank.
So why not pay tax on the number of kWh you pump into your car’s battery?
They will raise taxes on gas or mileage sky high so as to force people to go electric.
Liberalism IS the removal of choices.
Kalifornia Über Alles!

(Professional reverse engineer by trade who sometimes does automotive systems.)
States are seeking out ways to recoup losses from lost gas tax revenue.
WTF are they talking about?
We sell and purchase more gas in each state than ever before.
This is another scheme to tax in one way that makes it look like those who most benefit and use roads will be taxed.
Never mind the price increases that will come to those who don’t drive as many miles
