I feel the best solution is to just levy a yearly tax based on the vehicle. The heavier the vehicle, the larger the tax. Heavier vehicles tend to wear the roads

I feel the best solution is to just levy a yearly tax based on the vehicle. The heavier the vehicle, the larger the tax. Heavier vehicles tend to wear the roads more. This will have a negative impact on electric vehicles as they tend to be heavier, but they can introduce a carveout until they get a larger percentage of adoption. It will also have the benefit of discouraging the giant mall crawlers that have become a scourge on American roads.
