I think future proofing taxation now rather than waiting until enough people have EVs to try to resist it isn't a bad call, and can easily live in parallel with wanting to subsidize broader adoption.

But then if it's that, why isn't it a general road tax per vehicle weight/class, and an extra EV subsidy on top?
