There is, tax vehicles based on weight. The EV advocates don't seem to like this idea however.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 2y agoThey should like the idea: when properly designed, EVs don't weight more than ICE peers. Take the latest Model 3 Performance: 4054 pounds, 296 miles on a charge. The 2024 BMW M3? 3840 pounds. The Tesla beats the BMW on every metric and has plenty of range. Yet, it weighs less than 5% more than the BMW hybrid. You can also compare the standard Model 3 with the 3 series, or the Model Y with the X3. Weigh is not an issue any more and specific energy of new batteries keep getting better. We're only started.
