As more drivers turn to zero-emissions vehicles, which don't have to pay anything at the pump, California's gas tax could soon be a thing of the past. But it would be replaced by something else.
Can you talk more about this? Do they charge a flat tax per mile? Is there any allowance if you do most of your driving outside of the state or is the assumption 100% of the mileage is inside the taxed are?
Victoria has an EV tax already, and they basically just ask you to send a picture of your odometer.

Pet kilometre, yes, and I don’t think you can subtract trips outside the state.
Gotcha, thats good info.
How would you say the system is working? Is it generally accepted by the citizenry?
EV drivers hated it, some others felt it was going to depress uptake of EVs as not having to pay for petrol was a big draw to buying one.
I guess everyone else loves it that they contribute to the roads they’re using and it was bound to happen eventually because it’s only fair.
