with GPS they can track how many miles you drive and where you go etc
“with GPS they can track how many miles you drive and where you go etc”
Yes, that’s the plan.
If you drive in another state, they don’t charge you for it, but they can report that mileage to that state, so you can be billed for that, too.
After a while, when the mileage tax doesn’t solve the revenue shortfall, they will gradually bring back the fuel taxes.
They can/will also have a highway tax at each annual registration. This one would be highest for electric vehicles.
