The problem I see is that plug-in hybrids could get away without paying their fair share if they stay within the battery range an don't buy much gas.
That aside, I could see charging EVs an annual road tax based on MPGe and miles driven, interpolating from the cents-per-gallon rates that gas powered cars pay. Since non-EVs are paying based on gasoline consumption, this seems like a fair solution. Otherwise, they could switch all vehicles over to an annual road tax based on mileage and vehicle weight.
