Not surprised. Though this plan is about easing congestion, it will eventually have to be implemented state wide in order to replace gasoline taxes that go towards road maintenance. By 2035, 45% of new car sales will already be electric, and after that the sale of new non-zero emission cars will be banned altogether. That means by 2050 half of the cars actually on the road will be electric. In just 25 years, there will be roughly 50% less gasoline taxes coming in (give or take - commercial trucking accounts for a lot of it).

That shortfall will need to be made up somehow. License plates will soon be e-paper, and it won't be much of a stretch to imagine them having a transponder in them, or for new cars to be required to have them. Or for every mile of highway to have cameras.
