Well flat vehicle taxing based on weight, ICE engines are taxed additionally by tax on fuel. Not all taxation needs to/should happen in a single space.

Considering that the point of gas taxes ARE to obtain funding to repair roads... Transitioning to weight/travelled distance based registration taxes would mean that you want to double tax ICE vehicles to obtain those funds. That would be a bit silly to do...

I'd probably just raise the gas taxes and inroduce the new taxes for EV's
