It wouldn’t be dumb if ICE vehicles were also taxed the same way but they’re not. There would be nothing to stop the UK government abolishing fuel tax and slapping 6p a mile or whatever on ICE vehicles
Petroleum is taxed per liter. A car goes X km per liter. So the current petroleum tax is effectively per km, or close enough.
The mileage tax on average will make average petrol cars pay double what EVs will be paying in road taxes ( and it’s not even happening until 2028).
