Are we going to start taxing truck trailer owners as well, because they emit more carbon than F-150 owners.
The goal should be to develop EV sources, and incentivize people to buy then. The market will do the rest.

It doesn't need to differentiate. Increasing the cost changes demand and Spurs alternatives.
The goal can't be "become carbon neutral without causing any economic pain", because then you don't become carbon neutral. It should be "become carbon neutral doing the least economic possible". The timeline is set. By increasing cost pressure, less people will buy low efficiency vehicles for work and leisure. It will suck for some, for others it'll be more expensive. What else do you propose?
