Could still tax based on weight to encourage people buying smaller cars. That’s how it works in many places.



>Tax based on weight

Ooooohhhhh and that just makes all the EVs more expensive than they already are.


This is part of the reason why vehicles need to also be taxes based on pollution. But road-wear needs to be compensated too. It's worth mentioning that in the US, plenty of ICE vehicles weigh more than a typical EV. Honda Pilot, Toyota Sienna, etc.. etc...


I would be 100% in favor of this.
