    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?

        Think for about 30 seconds after rereading this thread. I believe in you. You’ve got everything you need.

          You’ve had many posts none of which offer details after asking for them, so I don’t believe in you

            An odometer is a device that measures distance driven by a vehicle. Is that your missing detail?

              How do you enforce it? All it tells is the existing milage not usage.

              Do you pro rate it? What if someone sells the car mid year?

              Do you pay the difference next year? What happens if you buy the car someone drove all year as Uber but only said they’d drive 10k miles total? Nope you have a bill for 70k miles you didn’t drive?

              Gee only a few issues here.
