As far as the variety of efficiencies, I don’t see that as a downside. That just incentivizes higher efficiency systems if you assume the median efficiency for tax purposes.
That said you do make a valid point about non-standard charging set ups. I’m not entirely opposed to the odometer method, I just find most proposals for implementing it a barrier to adoption.
It’s already illegal to modify the odometer and many states have annual safety inspections where they could record such things
The strongest arguments against smreridinf the odometer are surveillance and safety react, but if you’re only recording it once a year or when sold, then you’re not losing privacy
