I was hopping for someone to reference UFO or I would myself. Happy to not be disappointed.

I think this could work to guarantee everyone pays their fare share.I'm not 100% certain how miles driven should be tracked though. Obviously the odometer, but does the driver report that or the person doing the inspection? How do you make sure accurate reporting is being done?
I can't say it's this way for every state, but my understanding is that the registration fee for EVs is to replace the fact you're not paying the gas tax which is meant to help pay for road maintenance.
At least here in PA that's what they're intending to do. I don't believe it's been implemented yet, however.
And there are people who just pay for it, which blows my mind. Companies wouldn't do it if there wasn't money to be had. So now we get nickel and dimed so these corporations can get a steady stream of income rather than providing good quality products.
Apps are really notorious for it. What used to be a 10$ app now they expect subscriptions that amount to 60$ or more a year with no real noteworthy changes in service.
Calorie counting apps, for example, have been doing the same thing for over a decade now with little change besides cosmetic upgrades and "AI".
