>>Heavier vehicles wear on the road more than lower weight vehicles, so it's a bit regressive at the moment.
The thing is - even if everyone in the world replaced their cars with Rivians, they won't do a fraction of a damage that trucks are doing to our roads. It doesn't matter in the slightest to your roads if you drive a 1 or 2 tonne vehicle - but that 40-tonne truck going over it absolutely does.

That is very true.
