I would indeed prefer the odometer based solution to the GPS

but it's not perfect

(and you are currently exempted from the gax tax model if you have a electric vehicle on private roads / tracks, I doubt too many are affected by this though)

Private roads are irrelevant - electric vehicles don't pay gas tax, that's the point of this whole conversation.

uh, yes?

which wouldn't be the case if we switched to a tax based on an odometer

that's the point of this whole conversation.

I would prefer freedom and privacy to both "solutions".
