All governments are essentially mandating connected cars effective 2020 model year.

As hybrid and electrics take root, mileage and location based metering/taxation will become a major revenue source.

In the past, requirements for new cars were not retroactively applied to previous year models. Are you saying that is/will be changing?

My guess is that in a decade you’ll be using an OBD device for time and distance based metering, or pay a heavy surcharge for LPR based location only systems.

Transponder systems like EZPass have a business model too expensive to scale.
