EVs are directly responsible for this new Oregon form of taxation. Less fill ups at the pump, less gasoline tax to maintain roads, bridges and highways. Federal interstate highways suffer as well. But, if 40 cents out of every tax dollar collected in Oregon for miles driven goes to the GPS vendors, surely something already within the DMV (e.g. annual vehicle registrations, SMOG checks, etc) can accomplish the same thing cheaper.
Personally, I would be in favor of something like this in CA as well, instead of paying annual fees to the State based on the value of a car. I've owned several "garage queens" owned over the years, including motorcycles. The DMV fees have been outrageous considering I hardly ever drive or park them on public roads. One of my cars is currently in this "expensive" situation, and is barely driven over 500 miles year by year. My motorcycle even less. RIP OFF!!! :x
