What does the size of the car have to do with pollution? My point was that EVs (even 2 ton EVs) cause much less pollution than even very compact ICE cars. If the parking fees are about the size of cars, then they should be taxed by volume or footprint area.

Because heavy electric cars still pollute more than light electric cars through tire and brake particles. Taxing by size would be neat, but I understand that that would make the calculation even more complicated.
