It’s quite expensive to buy and maintain a car

Yes, and public roads should be an additional cost.

I'm not interested in banning cars, but I am interested in charging appropriately for sprawl and air pollution.

Car registration fees / gas taxes do pay for that?
They contribute to but don't even come close to covering the total cost (at least in the United States but I suspect it's similar In Europe)
Driving is net subsidized, even before pricing in these externalities.
