The per-mileage tech used in other states that have adopted it use GPS to determine how many miles were driven on taxed roads and it has actually saved some people money who live near borders and live/register their car in one state but do most of their driving in the other.
If this tech was used IN PLACE OF the fuel tax and stopped the meter on private roads it would make a lot of sense, and electric vehicles would be fairly taxed for the wear and tear they cause on the roads just like everybody else.
Alternatively, the tech could be used to keep the meter running on private roads and remit the mile tax to the appropriate association so that people who do not live in private subdivisions are billed for the miles they drive in them and the money can go to whatever association is going to misappropriate the revenue.
Fair taxes... yeah I know I'm dreaming. Time to click the ruby farm boots together three times, "there's no place like Puna, there's no place like Puna, there's no place like Puna...."
