When do you have to re-register your vehicles? Again, in NYS, the registration is "good" for 2 years and follows the plate, not the vehicle. When you buy (or trade in) a vehicle for a newer one, your registration and plate transfers to the replacement vehicle. When that happens, it is usually a small registration fee at transfer time and then when the registration expires, you get a notification in the mail for renewal. 

Neither does GA which leads to burned out head and tail lamps, illegal light bars, squatted trucks, bald tires, etc

We don't have annual inspections...

Oh I wasn't even talking about the hood line in this cars - I agree I prefer the hood line to line up, but that doesn't happen often.   I was referring to the character line that does a sort of "Z" shape (I put a yellow line on it) as it goes into the mirror mount...  

Motorcycles better not have to pay the same as 8000lb evs.

I don't think weight of passenger vehicles makes much difference.  At least not enough to justify a complicated tiered system.

I cannot speak to other States approach but here in NYS, your mileage is noted on your annual safety and emissions inspection. NYS already "tracks" my annual mileage. It would be relatively easy to set up in other States for an annual or semi-annual check of mileage as part of a registration event. 

A vehicle tax that goes towards road maintenance should be proportional to vehicle weight more than anything. Heavier vehicles are the ones causing more damage to the road.    So it really shouldn't be a powertrain tax, but a weight tax. Some EVs are super heavy, some aren't, same with every other vehicle. If you're scooting around in a vehicle that weighs 3,500 lbs and isn't doing much damage to the road, your tax should be much lower than someone driving a 6,500 lb vehicle regardless of what kind of powertrain it has. 

Damn, I have a shit ton of character then. 

Good eye. As someone who really appreciates good line flow in a design, I agree about the hood like not lining up with the window line being poorly done. I guess the height of it likes up with the decklid at it's highest point, so at least that's something. It's also possible having a higher beltline to line up with the hood line would have looked a little too chunky.
