We’ve had one Reddit, yes. But what about second Reddit?

This is what bothers me the most about this. I have averaged 5,000 miles a year over the past 5 years with my Leaf, which if I were paying the $0.309/gallon fuel tax for in a 30 mpg car would be $257.50 (25,000 miles / 30 MPG * $.309). Instead, I’ve had to pay $500 ($100/year) in EV taxes when registering.

It just makes sense to report your mileage yearly upon registration, and pay based on your actual mileage/road usage. Whether future vehicles are powered by batteries, hydrogen, or unicorn farts this would handle it. I’m happy to pay my share to “fix the dang roads,” but we can do it in a way that’s smarter than “stick it to those smug Tesla asshats.”
