Unfortunately, what will most likely happen is that there will be a tax on miles driven on all vehicles but the tax on gas won’t go away, double taxing gas and diesel vehicles. If the government wants us in electric vehicles, they will eventually find ways to make it prohibitively uneconomical for most people to do otherwise. In the new era of stressing equality, they are dumping inequalities on people who prefer a rural lifestyle, where driving range, 4WD, and towing capacity are important, driving lots of miles is a necessity, and public transportation is not available. In a way, EV’s are forcing more urbanization.
