Here's the Kiwi approach to Road User Charging that has to come with declining fuel excise-

It's been nearly impossible to interfere with digital odometers for quite some time with modern cars and interesting how you could buy forward blocks of kms for your car with RUC like pre-paid electricity. In any case black box recorders like aircraft are coming with cars if they're not hardware available already and able to be switched on with software in future.

You can see the future coming here with personal based kms as we step into the self-driving future even with your own car. No need for Rego and Insurances as it's all wrapped up in the individual and what sort of safe driver you are rather than car based now. No more stolen cars or high-speed chases as the car won't allow it and you need a personal pay per km licence key to operate anyway. Yep we're definitely on the way there with more and more control by the computers on wheels and less and less the nut behind the wheel.

I was a bit confused by this as I thought they had already had a RUC forever. But turns out only for vehicles over 3.5t GVM.
So this proposal would just bring electric vehicles into their current system.

If that were to happen here, they'd simply rename the petrol tax to something less obvious and add the electronic user charge on top.....

Well, I missed out on powerball last night but this is very good news instead. Well done to those clever people who are making this happen. Keep on swagging.

Fantastic news, well done to all concerned.

Many thanks to those that were able to make it happen...
