I agree with this. There could be a strong sliding scale on registration based on size, mpg, whatever criterion works best.

With my wife retiring in two years, and I'm already there, we'll really only need one car with the power and range to go longer distances and/or tow... and the BRZ is likely it for some time. When I replace my Boxster, probably in 2030, I would be content with a small "local runabout" whether a small EV of an ICE Kei car.
