The roads don’t care about whether the car is ICE or EV. There are plenty of gigantic SUV’s that are hybrids or even electric. Eventually we will see electric 18 wheelers.
There should be an additional tax on ICE’s for their emissions as well to capture that higher externality. But remember EV’s are not emission-free. Anything with tires is a source of pollution.
Personal vehicles cause a lot of problems for humanity, and only some of those are exclusive to ICE’s.
Just another reminder that EVs don’t magically make cars green or safer. You still have the ashphault, the tire pollution, brake dust, end of life recycling, stormwater runoff, noise pollution, roadkill, wasteful car centric planning, and dangers to pedestrians.

A large percentage of microplastics come from car tyres.
