I agree that there should be some analysis done for the toll electric cars will take on the roadways while paying $0 in gas taxes, but why did I spend more for a hybrid when I could have gotten a cheaper 6-wheel pickup that gets teens-to-the-gallon if I'd pay the same amt in road taxes??

The system would require all cars and trucks be equipped with global satellite positioning technology, a transponder, a clock and other equipment to record how many miles a vehicle was driven, whether it was driven on highways or secondary roads, and even whether it was driven during peak traffic periods or off-peak hours.
