That wouldn’t be fair, because little light cars damage roads much less than big heavy cars.
Charge a big car more then.
Fuel tax doesn't work for EV owners charging their car from the solar panels on their roof.
I also think we should charge more per mile for driving in congested urban areas in the rush hour compared to sparsely populated rural areas off peak.

Yes, defo. Road charging in cities makes good sense.

There’s a very simple, totally fair system that would tax more polluting vehicles more for driving more - ditch VED and stick it all on fuel.
Simple, efficient, free to implement and saves costs in the future.
