They should go after SUVs. They weigh as much (or more), use far more gas, obliterate anything they crash into (smaller cars and pedestrians), and they get a fucking IRS tax deduction.

you know most SUVs are really sedans with tall cabins? All crossovers are sedan unibody chassis. Here is a list of truck SUVs, which have actual frames.

New York State gives EVs and plugin EVs discounts on tolls (and maybe reg fees), but looking at the list, some of the SUVs have an eMPG in the 40s.
Meanwhile your non-plugin Corolla Hybrid, doesn’t get a discount, gets a 50mpg mileage.
And those plugin SUVs can drop to under 25mpg (some under 20!) if you don’t plug them in.
