Or force you into an electric vehicle.
The long term goal is to make all driving so expensive that only the elites can drive in their chauffeur driven limousines.
Everybody else will be crammed into urban high rises using crowded, filthy and crime-infested mass transit.
Electric vehicles also have miles driven per year. This is as much a slap in the face of EV drivers as it is to ICE drivers.
NEVAH! I'm burnin' petrol in my V-8 'til the day they pry my cold dead fingers from my steering wheel.
Tp force you into the ‘foot-mobile’
ALL social and geographic mobility will be a thing of the distant past, comparable to serfdom...and comparing unfavorably!
“Or force you into an electric vehicle.”
EV’s are not exempted under this proposal.
Btw we are already paying a “mileage tax” in the form of the taxes on gasoline.
force you into an electric vehicle.

Which you can only charge (when your area is not undergoing a brownout or blackout due to inadequate power generation) your vehicle every 5th day of no shortages. Lotteries will be set up and the lucky winner will get to charge daily for 1 solid week!
This is the case in China. The reason China is leading in EV sales? Because there are extremely high registration costs for gas cars, expensive tolls on roads for gas cars (EV exemptions), and gas cars are forbidden from entering downtown areas of cities while EV's are exempt. Only the rich in China buy gas cars, and even then will buy an EV to get into cities. All government mandated. Coming to the U.S.A. because of democrats.
Currently electric vehicles pay no gasoline taxes that are used too finance roads and highways, how do you suppose they will recoup those taxes? I have pointed that out here for a very long time. Milage tax is coming and we are powerless to stop it.
This is a way to tax electric cars. As it is, mileage is taxed when gasoline is purchased. As the fuel economy of engines improve, and electric cars become more common, the gasoline tax raises less revenue. For drivers with gas engine cars, it is double taxation, though, so it will drive some to electric cars.
User miles IS targeted at EVs. They don’t pay a gas tax, but their cars ruin the road….just like my gas guzzler.
