That would be good, but it should rampup exponentally the heavier the vehicle is. So say a 3000lb vehicle is 50% tax, a 6000lb vehicle should be MUCH higher, maybe 500% or so. Make it really worth while to reduce weight, which is of course the number one issue for the safety of people outside of the car.
I agree. Cars should be taxed by weight. The heavier the vehicle the more wear and tear it causes to the infrastructure, and also the deadlier it is in a collusion.
How about a 1% tax for every 100lbs the vehicle weighs.

Cars go heavier but carrying the same number of passengers. Something ain’t right.

But add an exception for EVs since they’re heavier. We need cheaper EVs, not more expensive ones.
We also need smaller EVs.
Absolutely, but EVs still would be affected disproportionately since the battery weighs a lot.
They could get a bonus or a factor. But I wouldn’t completely exempt them.
