There's a proposal (IDK the current status actually, coming into law in a few years?) in the Netherlands to tax cars based on the area they occupy, not on weight like they are currently taxed. Govt wants to incentivize going electric, but those are heavier than similar sized gas-powered cars.
But there also has been a surge of huge American pickup trucks, which are simply too large for the roads and parking places here. Taxing by area would help with that too.
