@ike@pkm.social I'd actually rather see vehicle registration rate taxes be based on hood height * horsepower because of the role of hood height in pedestrian injuries. Additionally EV's weigh more than their fossil fuel cousins (which would result in an EV registration penalty) and until we start both building adequate public transit systems and redesigning our cities with public transit in mind we are going to need a transition period involving EV's. By tying registration to hood height and horsepower we can better protect pedestrians during the transition to functional public transit.
