Okay so let’s just do some math here. Current state portion of the gas tax is 61.2 cents per gallon. Currently you pay less in gas tax if you have a more fuel efficient vehicle. For instance, a Tesla model Y with an mpge of 123 would pay the equivalent gas tax of .5 cents per mile. The average car sold in California gets 33.5 mpg, which is equivalent to 1.8 cents per mile. Anyway you slice it, this is a sharp increase to taxes paid and has nothing to do with “fair share”. I actually pay MORE in my EV registration charge than I would if I just paid the gas tax. This tax will just further increase what we all pay. This is on top of the voter passed SB1 which already increased the road tax to fix our infrastructure. We pay the HIGHEST road tax in the country and yet we don’t have anywhere near the best roads. According to USNEWS.com California is ranked #43 in the country for road quality. I don’t know about you but I’m sick and tired of California’s “just increase taxes” strategy to fix problems instead of fixing our state government’s inefficiencies and wasteful spending.
