Vehicle registration fees are a way of offsetting a small part of the massive subsidies the government gives to vehicles. If anything, they should be much higher for everyone.

Nope, that's idiotic.

If you want them to pay, tax the fuel and consumables like tyres, or put a tax based on how hard is to recycle the car once it hits the scrapper. Bit more complex with EVs I admit, but making someone pay just for keeping car even if they use it once a week is silly.

Yearly fee should be proportional to legalese required to keep it registered (paying wages), not much more.
