...all gubmints have people sitting up nights thinking of new things to tax. A common refrains is "We must find new sources of revenue". A old time politician, George Corley Wallace once said that all this talk about new sources of revenue is hogwash. There is only one source of revenue and that is people.

...the tax per mile is also being considered for gasoline and diesel powered vehicles. The gubmint is losing revenue because carbon based fuels are more expensive and people are using less of it.

Electric cars may be taxed by the mile.

"The idea's been kicked around for several years. Oregon has tested it in a pilot program and is now considering a bill requiring all electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles traveling on state highways to pay .6 cents per mile beginning in 2014. Texas and Minnesota are among other states also exploring similar ideas."
