Fuel taxes don't seem to take into account the quartic scaling of damage by vehicle weight on pavement.

Well, if they did then EVs would pay more, since they are much heavier., because of, you know, the batteries.

At least in the US, EVs are not heavier than the average driver's vehicle, though they are heavier than other vehicles in their class. And practically all consumer vehicles are nothing compared to semi trucks.

Like for like, about 10% heavier. For now, at least. Few more years and they will be lighter on average.

Bollocks - all generalizations are false.

My Model 3 (RWD SR+ 2023) is 1847kg unloaded weight, including driver.
