The guy on the right has never seen a worksite or a dirt road. He drives around town to go shop at Whole Foods

Maybe then the tonnage, length/height/width too?
Or alternatively, tax cars according to length/height/width, tonnage, energy efficiency, and % space left unused. Obviously, the car also has to adhere to safety regulations before being allowed on the road.
The smaller the car, the lower the tonnage, the more energy efficient, the better.
For space usage, you could say that it needs to have space for 2-6 passengers, all having seats with enough leg space. The 'storage' space may not take up more than 20% of the car's inner volume, and must be fully covered.
We also need to look at the supply chains and see what would incentivise car companies to support these moves.
