Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is weighing a vehicle miles tax (VMT) to fund the president’s estimated $3 trillion infrastructure plan, which he plans to unveil next Friday.

A VMT would tax people per miles driven and presents an alternative to further raising the gas tax.

Biden promotes electric vehicles and fewer people are using petroleum products which decreases gasoline tax revenue.
Can't this guy get anything right ?

Volkswagen is poised to change its name to "Voltswagen," switching the "k" to a "t" in a nod toward the automaker's investment in electric vehicles.

I guess the Biden raises gas prices talking point is getting to them. That’s good to know I guess, doesn’t matter they will just do something underhanded like this to tax you and get the same result a higher cost of operating your vehicle.

In an effort to save the planet, we have shifted some cars to electric power. These cars don't reduce any emissions since they need coal/natural gas fired plants to provide the power to charge their batteries. All in the name of unproven science.

These electric cars make the libs feel good, but they are not buying gasoline, therefore not paying the gasoline tax.

This will end up just being a extra tax on everyone. Business will pass the cost on to the consumer. You will pay.

The electric car fanatics will be the ones to freak out when they have to start paying a usage tax on highways that was previously paid for by gas taxes.

Better to put that tax on the electric car since they are the problem.

Stop being logical and reasonable. You're embarrassing yourself.

We're already taxed per mile driven.

Use more gas, pay more gas tax.

Yes but these stupid coal-electric cars aren't paying their fair share.

They shouldn't pay their fair share.

We should encourage superior technology by giving it a tax break.

Massachusetts Governor Baker wants to raise the local gasoline taxes from 29 cents to 62 cents.

That has already been tried in an effort to increase sales.

And it's working. We need more of it.

A modern electric is such a vast improvement we need to speed adoption as much as possible.

Wrong. Everybody's roads. Doesn't matter whether it runs on coal, gas, or diesel.

If it is superior technology, it does not need a tax break.

Inferior technologies need incentives to use.

This would be true, except everyone is better off the faster and wider electrics get adopted.
