COVID Effect. Gas Tax Solutions.

What’s happening? The pandemic slowed the EV impact to the ever declining gas tax revenue.

Why is this important? TN just landed the F150 Ford EV manufacturing facility and also just raised regulation fees for EVs to $100 to account for the lack of gas taxes paid by EVs, but the average vehicle gas tax for TN is $300.

How will this be important? mTN and Libertarian think tanks favor pay as you drive taxes/fees.
