Comments on: If we all start driving electric cars, how will the government collect gasoline tax? http://www.mainspot.net/if-we-all-start-driving-electric-cars-how-will-the-government-collect-gasoline-tax/ Automotive Resource and Car Care Sat, 16 Oct 2010 15:54:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: BeachBum818 http://www.mainspot.net/if-we-all-start-driving-electric-cars-how-will-the-government-collect-gasoline-tax/comment-page-1/#comment-1442 BeachBum818 Fri, 15 May 2009 21:44:04 +0000 http://www.mainspot.net/?p=760#comment-1442 They use tolls on the highways and bridges already. Also, they would just place a energy tax on power plants, thus forcing the power companies to pass that cost onto us, raising the price of a Kwh. Big brother is already tracking us, they can locate you through the On-Star Navigation system, many criminals have been caught using it, if you miss a payment on your car they just call On Star tell them to not let your car start. The EZ-Pass and such can track your travels when you pay tolls with it. Almost all phones use a GPS nowadays, thats another means of tracking people. They have given criminals the new "smart phones" saying they won a sweepstakes and track them through the GPS on the phone. If your phone doesn't have a GPS they can track you by your signal and what cell towers you connect to, which you can't control. Shaddog: its called an electric meter...the meter man comes to your house and takes a reading, the company then charges you base on use. Thats how you get your electric bill.

States and would probably increase registration/license fees for vehicles.
