I don't think California has come up with that idea yet.

More than being a pain, it's unfair. You'll burn nominally 200 gallons of gas, but you're being charged the tax on 380 gallons of gas.

In any case, the gas tax system does need to be overhauled to compensate for the number of EVs being sold - at least in California. To me, the obvious way of doing this would be to charge a tax on mileage based upon the odometer reading at the bi-annual vehicle emission inspection required for ICE cars, which could be modified to include EVs.

There’s already news stories where people are thinking twice about buying and EV, hybrid or HEV (hybrid EV) because it’s just another cost factor. Indeed, a Prius takes longer to pay for itself compared to a gas Corolla or Camry when gas prices stay under $3/gallon.

I thought they were going to add a “fuel tax” to public EV chargers to pay the equivalent of the gas tax when EVs charge. It’s no different from when they made online retailers collect state sales taxes because of how online purchases were previously impossible to tax unless the individual self-reported.

Here is the city of San Jose's plan for making recharging your EV convenient for residents owning one who live in a new apartment. It is an interesting idea, but I wonder about maintenance and how the apartment owner will recover or apportion their increased monthly electrical costs? Also, it is going to do nothing to make new apartment buildings more affordable to construct.

That's a simple one, it's a development offering EV charging at each spot. Include the cost in the HOA fee.
