ah yes, another anti-environment tax. More barriers to fossil-fuel free adoption. As you would expect, Mississippi already has this tax. Don't be like Mississippi.

Then add some exceptions to cars that aren't as bad for the environment like electric cars.

Maybe exclude batteries for the weight calculation.

It isn't a hard problem to solve.
