Easy. Slap on an annual registration fee directly proportional to weight. Shit, just make it half the sale weight of the car for any non-EV, and half that again for EVs. Peg the ratio to inflation after that.

Weight should absolutely be a factor in registration fees. Between road damage, their environmental cost, and danger they pose it's a no brainer.
