How about a 1% tax for every 100lbs the vehicle weighs.

But add an exception for EVs since they're heavier. We need cheaper EVs, not more expensive ones.

Absolutely, but EVs still would be affected disproportionately since the battery weighs a lot.

They could get a bonus or a factor. But I wouldn’t completely exempt them.
