after realizing that oil has recently had horribly disruptive events unlike anything any nightmare oil corporations ever conceiver could actually happen, and realizing that the future of fossil fuel production might not be smooth sailing as it has in the past.... resulting in the likelihood of electric vehicles, which are easily recharged by solar or hydroelectric sourced (environmentally green) electricity... I just read something that brought up the problems with electric vehicles....
they don't pay gas taxes to keep the govt funded roads maintained.
So, it seems the idiotic mandates from California's moron hypocrite soon to be ex-governor to not allow internal combustion engine (ICE) powered cars to be sold until long after he's out of office, circa 2030, would begin the slow process of diminishing the gas tax revenue that ICE vehicles
Last week, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee—the guy who, while running for president two years ago, proposed a nationwide ban on sales of gas-powered cars by 2030—vetoed a statewide ban on gas-powered car sales by 2030.
In the US, state and federal motor fuel taxes account for more than 40 percent of transportation funding—the largest revenue source. But the federal government hasn’t raised the gas tax since 1993, when it was fixed at 18.4 cents a gallon. Since 2008, Congress has allocated additional funds from elsewhere, but the situation is not sustainable: the Congressional Budget Office says that if the funding system doesn’t change by 2030 federal transportation funding will exceed its budget by $188 billion. At least 36 states have increased their fuel taxes since 2010 to bring in more money.

I'm guessing that they'll simply download the mileage each year when they want to determine how much to charge car owners to re-register, in addition to the registration fee, of course.
