Here's a better idea. Charge big heavy cars (electric, S.U.V's) more tax for the damage they cause on the roads.

Here's another idea. Build the roads better. And maintain them.
Roman roads are still around and decent because all they need is resurfacing a couple of times each century. The foundations were proper and hold. A roads see lorries which are heavier than EVs and in greater numbers and deteriorate, motorways are poor, and B roads are not maintained. It is delusional to link EVs or even just heavier vehicles to road degradation: degradation happens because of total lack of maintenance in most parts and botched jobs when by chance there are repairs undertaken.
