Here in the NL they'll soon lift the road tax exemption for e-vehicles, and since it's weight based, EV-owners are going to pay, and fuel vehicles will become more interesting again.

I'm am pretty certain that EVs won't end up being much cheaper than ICE cars. Finland cars in general have high tax burden. And you have to fund the roads from somewhere. If you can't separate electricity at home it means adding taxes on EVs in some other way...

Does the tax scale to first power of weight or the fourth?

IMHO unfortunately (but I'm no EV owner) not. But enough to suddenly cost you at least a thousand euros/year extra.
