In a decade vehicles so equipped will be in the majority.
Road charging becomes simple. Tracking movements becomes trivial - implications for crime detection and privacy. Monitoring road use to drive repairs, upgrades, traffic management becomes feasible.
I have no doubt a way round privacy and data will be found.
In 15 years the only cars without the technology would be ICE which may even get banned or be required to retrofit the technology.
IMHO there is no doubt why the feature was made mandatory.
