EV tax in California... 30 cents per mile. Pilot program underway?

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

Not at all, but it is best not to pay attention to what California does as a state unless you live here.

This was also on the news a few months back... it's as they say "fake news," it's at least got the Breitbart treatment.

The six-month pilot that begins in August will involve around 800 volunteers randomly split into two groups. One will be charged a flat rate of 2.8 cents per mile, which Prehoda described as a “revenue-neutral rate” that brings in the same amount of money as the current gas tax. The other group will be taxed based on their vehicle’s fuel efficiency. The rate decreases as fuel efficiency increases.

That rate is calculated by dividing the state's per-gallon fuel tax, which will be 59.6 cents per gallon as of July, by the EPA's fuel economy rating for a particular vehicle.

Now if you want some commie-nazi shit we just banned sell by dates on food to cut down on "food waste" starting in 2026. Now only a "best by" date will be used.
