Gas tax also hits the heavier vehicles harder. I'm sure that truckers would like to pay the same per mile tax as a Geo metro.

We are talking about electrics. ICE can continue with a gas tax. EV will need some similar method.
I would not approve of a gas tax and then an additional mileage tax on top of it. One or the other, not both.
