Big engine tax is a good idea though… we should do that too.
IMO the tax on a car should scale exponentially with the weight of the vehicle because the damage they cause to roads and in collisions.
How about a 1% tax for every 100lbs the vehicle weighs.
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.

But add an exception for EVs since they’re heavier. We need cheaper EVs, not more expensive ones.
Cars go heavier but carrying the same number of passengers. Something ain’t right.
I am so glad I live in a country with a free economy. If I want to buy a VW I can, if I want to buy a GMC I can, if I want to buy a Suzuki I can, if I want to buy a BYD I can. Sometimes even cheaper than in their home country.
