But you still pay less than your rich neighbor that drives a Tahoe.Which is exactly why I want to pay more taxes.
Plus, there is no "fair"; I gave up on that one a long time ago. Ya win some and ya lose some.

Not so much as remove it as use the exact same method for both. Hard to argue fairness if the same fee is charged the same way for all vehicles.Tax the electricity that is used to charge EV’s, it’s being used as fuel so if people have to pay tax on gas/ diesel they should on electricity as well. A meeter should be fitted to the charger that can be read and the correct amount charged/ paid.
Even people with solar should have to pay it.
Only other option is remove all tax from gas/ diesel
Depends on how much I drive each car, right? The Model 3 sees maybe 3800 miles per year... I think my current "Current Transportation Improvement Fee" is $150, if I understand the calculation. So almost 4 cents per mile this year. I should drive this car more!!!!But you still pay less than your rich neighbor that drives a Tahoe.
I’m sorry, I thought you were in CA. My mistake on the taxes. 0.33 is less than we pay in VA.At about 24mpg using those numbers. It’s a small car and if I was ICE I’m sure I would do north of 30mpg and the car did 6,500 miles.
Unless I’m missing something I see $0.33 a gallon doubling the miles paid for in your example which would be way over my usage. That’s directly from revenue.WI.gov.
I agree taxes are never fair. Its impossible to be "fair" on road fees, unless the roads become toll or they track your mileage somehow.Not so much as remove it as use the exact same method for both. Hard to argue fairness if the same fee is charged the same way for all vehicles.
It would be using the exact same method.I agree taxes are never fair. Its impossible to be "fair" on road fees, unless the roads become toll or they track your mileage somehow.
So the next most "fair" way is to charge all comparable vehicles approximately the same irrelevant of power source. The only realistic way to do this is charge an EV the equivalent gas tax used at some average rate per year, on your registration.
Maybe they should just do away with gas taxes at the state level and add it to everyone's registration?
Semi’s do pay far more in fuel taxes and registration fees for the truck and for the trailersDo a weight-based annual registration fee.
Road damage goes up by the fourth power of axle weight, but, realistically, anything under 6000 lbs gets lumped together by most states for simplicity. If we were trying to actually be fair, semi trucks would have to pay even more, but I'm ok subsidizing infrastructure we all benefit from.
It seems to me the most equitable is mileage and weight. Retired people are generally living on reduced income and driving mileage.I agree taxes are never fair. Its impossible to be "fair" on road fees, unless the roads become toll or they track your mileage somehow.

Actually it’s 52 cents including the federal excise taxI’m sorry, I thought you were in CA. My mistake on the taxes. 0.33 is less than we pay in VA.
I agree on the equitability of mileage x weight - but if I drive the Packard, say, 200 miles, then, I am not paying much, right?It seems to me the most equitable is mileage and weight. Retired people are generally living on reduced income and driving mileage.
Car crazy people like me would get dinged by number of vehicles. The bro dozers would be the lucky ones...
In the meantime, we just pay and pay... What's a poor boy to do?
Every tax on earth is progressive.
