Yes that system would work but I’m not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that “inspect every EV in the country” is simpler than “flat tax on EVs”. Running inspections at that scale seems multiple orders of magnitude more complex than a one time fee.

No, I’m talking about Washington state. How other states do it is none of my business. No, I never said taking odometer readings was simpler than collecting a flat fee, I said it was fair and a flat fee is unfair. Charging a flat gas tax would be simpler than metering every gallon of gasoline sold, but would it be fair?
