Electric cars like them or not are the future, so how do you think the govt will manage to get their road tax in the future? Right now electric cars are driving tax free as far as road tax goes, so we all know that won't last..

So what do you think they will do?
Well, here in Finland there has been highly debated suggestion about GPS tracking (vehicles), but cars already have trip meters, so reading that once in a year is quite low-tech solution and cheap.
