The state already has the data from biennial smog test on the older cars. Or self report and cross reference to auto repair databases.[/quote]
There’ll be a bunch of people that complain they drive out of state all the time and shouldn’t be charged for those miles.
If you want to pay for use, then have only have cities/counties charge gas/electric charger tax to pay for local roads. Make all freeways and highways be toll between towns/cities.
But, the reality is that gas tax and registration fees don’t cover the cost of roads. $4B/$14B for local spending is from general sales tax. http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/offices/eab/fundchrt_files/2017_Transportation_Funding.pdf
The high cost of living in CA is not taxes (CA is much better than NJ/NY for example), but housing. The issue of housing is regulatory.
