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

That would be good, but it should rampup exponentally the heavier the vehicle is. So say a 3000lb vehicle is 50% tax, a 6000lb vehicle should be MUCH higher, maybe 500% or so. Make it really worth while to reduce weight, which is of course the number one issue for the safety of people outside of the car.

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.
