California launching pilot program to charge drivers for miles driven - Autoblog
California will soon begin testing a pilot program that will tax drivers based on the miles they log to offset the loss of gas tax revenues from EVs.

California is the nation's biggest EV market by a wide margin, and the relatively high percentage of battery-powered cars is digging a hole in the state's budget because it relies on revenue from its gasoline tax to fund road maintenance. Lawmakers want to replace the gasoline tax with a new mileage-based tax to offset the loss, and they plan to begin testing this system by launching a pilot program in August 2024.
