New fuel-economy standards, which President Trump said he finalized Saturday, would kill a federal effort to speed the transition to electric vehicles.
Electricification is the one thing that could make the price of gas irrelevant for Americans
Sorry, I missed the point where registration includes odometer readings. Sure, it’s possible that someone could be driving 10k miles off-road and 100 miles on-road, thereby paying for more than they’re using, but it seems quite niche and less complicated a trade-off (and much less tied to fossil fuels) than gas tax.
You said it should be tied to registration. But it’s tied to gas because that reflects miles/usage and wear better
Did you read anything I wrote about electrification? The moment you add a battery it stops reflecting usage.
How will registration only be fair to those who don’t drive much and still make those who drive constantly/ for work pay more?
