A tax on vehicle axle weight proportional to the damage done to roads (which goes up exponentially with weight).

Vehicle fee based on some combination of size, weight, and miles driven would be the fairest.

Miles driven is just taken care of in fuel taxes. Sales tax on size, yearly tax based on weightwould be perfect I think.

EVs break this.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, something that attempts to assess cost proportional to impact

Happens many places in Europe already.
