What you propose is a good thing (to me), but there's an aspect of this that seems to be missing in all dialog about EVs: fuel tax.

My understanding is that a large portion of roads and associated infrastructure are funded by fuel taxes (which seems to be fair: the more you use them the more you pay).

I've yet to see an equitable solution to this problem.

A mileage tax would be decently equitable for a road use tax but it's usually unpopular, though I'd much prefer that to tolls or tracking with cameras.
