If implemented properly and adjusted for mileage, this would have interesting impacts on both the cost of EVs as well as the cost of liquid fuels.
EVs tend to be heavier, so they'd pay more on average.
OTOH, fuel transport trucks are very heavy and fully taxing based on the square of fully loaded weight would increase transport costs significantly. This would end up getting passed on to ICE vehicle users.
This solution works, IMO.
