What's your grid connect fee like in Cali? In OKC, it's $12/month. If you don't invest in a 2-3 battery system, the availability of net metering allows you to use your overproduction at a later time. That's a pretty valuable service.

In theory, I have no problem paying a mileage tax so long as it's close to what I'd be paying on fuel. EVs are generally heavier than ICE vehicles, so they would cause more wear and tear on the road.

I don't have solar and some of the news articles aren't clear. It appears that the current grid connect fees are around$10-20/month and the solar owners can sell their excess energy production back to the utility company. However, the new proposal wants to increase the grid access fee to $40-60/month.

California already has outrageous gas prices. We have the highest prices in the nation. Today's average for regular grade gas is $4.672!!! In 2017, the voters approved a measure to increase our gas tax "...designed to raise about $5.4 billion a year for highways, bridges, transit and local roads." So, we already agreed to a tax to "pay for roads". Now, all of a sudden, the gas tax isn't enough? They charge us $4.67/gallon AND they want to charge us a per mile tax on top of that?? GTFO
