I may have seen reference to this concept in the not-so-recent past, but certainly haven't seen any reference to this concept recently, nor any reference to the "proactive" aspect I'd like to see promoted. In the early days of ultralight air vehicles, there was an impending threat of US Government banishment/intervention. The community, which was much smaller than today's EV community, banded together and worked with the FAA to create regulations.
The concept that makes sense to me is to charge per-mile fees to EV owners, not per year registration fees. I recognize that I'm not a typical EV owner, nor is my wife, but my two thousand to three thousand miles per year does not justify the fees I've seen posted. My wife's four thousand miles per year also fits into this equation. If an entity has to modify the registration system to accept a specific fee for an EV, the modification should be based on previous year's travels via odometer reading. It's hardly difficult to provide such information during registration, no more so than providing insurance verification as is currently done. How would it be possible to push this concept into the appropriate entity in advance of this entity's movement to set (excessive) annual fees? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
