Here in Norway we do have a weight tax. It's linear for normal cars[1] and paid once, for heavier vehicles it's yearly and quite non-linear[2].
edit: doing a quick fit, it seems to just be quadratic with weight though, while damage goes more like the fourth power as noted in sibling comment.
As for miles driven, AFAIK there's nothing direct non-linear there, just some duty and taxes on the fuel.

- devoutsalsa 3y agoIs weight tax the same of different for electric and internal combustion cars?
- magicalhippo 3y agoYes. ICE's have an additional CO2/NOx tax though.
- ghostpepper 3y agoNot sure how far you got in the article but Norway is specifically called out as the country with the best policy the US should mimic to address the problem.
- magicalhippo 3y agoIt doesn't seem to mention the non-linear tax on trucks though, from what I could see. Makes sense given it's an article about regular cars.
