English TL&DR there's a proposal to tax cars by surface area instead of weight. Somehow this is supposed to be better for electric cars because their batteries are heavy. (Not really, because the battery weight also needs to be flat and close the floor for balance and leg room reasons, making them long and wide).
My hot take: future cars will be (unstable) narrow double deckers.
