I drive around 5000 miles a year and still pay $225/year for my EV. However, Washington is moving to a mileage based system for EVs, hybrids, and high economy cars. They are just going to go by odometer readings, which is about the only way it will work in the USA.

And they’re planning to charge 2.6 cents per mile, per https://wstc.wa.gov/studies-surveys/road-usage-charge/

So that’s $364 per year for 14k miles. Vs. the $225 currently paid as an electrification fee.

[seanmcdirmid]

It’s capped at $225, at least during the pilot.

Do you know how they plan to get the odometer data? Thanks.

Some states require annual vehicle inspections.

[seanmcdirmid]

The honor system I think, Washington doesn’t require annual inspections.

Washington doesn't.
