Hawaii this month became the fourth state to enact a voluntary pay-by-the mile program in the face of declining gas tax revenues.
Hawaii’s, which launched on July 1, applies only to electric vehicle owners. They have the option to pay $8 per 1,000 miles they drive with a cap of $50, or choose a flat $50 annual fee. In 2028, the pay-by-the-mile charge will become mandatory.
