That is already a big issue in CA. There are no simple solutions to this
dilemma. There is no question that electric cars use the roads. The fact
that they escape paying for the roads is problem we're going to have to
solve some way.

Depending on how far you can go just on batteries and how long it takes to
recharge on solar, you could pace your travels to be darn near free
driving.
The one thing that governments are starting to struggle with now is the
road taxes that are technically owed. Right now they collect it as the
gas/fuel pump for every gallon of fuel you purchase. I know in NY state
technically if you own an electric car you are supposed to calculate your
mileage driven on electric and then enter that on your tax return to
calculate how much you owe in road taxes that you did not pay at a gas
pump. I am sure that is honestly reported by citizens just like they are
supposed to report all of their on line purchases that did not have NY
state sales taxes collected.......
Thank You,

Hydrogen, propane or NG and a regular gas tank for reserve. Either
that, or a gas turbine like an M1 Abrams that can burn anything, but
it would obviously need to get better fuel economy than 5 gallons per
mile.
