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.
Don’t forget that big combustion cars also create more CO2
How about a 1% tax for every 100lbs the vehicle weighs.
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.
