Given how trivially easy GPS is to disrupt, I think a lot of these devices would mysteriously start malfunctioning on the open road or on toll roads if this was actually done.

I'd like to see a system that simply queries the ECU for the vehicle's odometer reading every time the vehicle is driven and sends that to the appropriate agency, with no location tracking involved.

Most likely they will have tiers if vehicles where they will lump a ute with a nissan micra on one level and the electric cars on another (more expensive) level because they are heavier, and commercial vehicles on a level where they pay very little per kilometer and kilometre because the businesses will lobby to get their RUC charges reduced to almost nothing.
