A bicycle uses the infra structure created for cars, and the wear and tear is probably not measurable.
If you look up the cost of creating one mile of road, you are looking in the millions, but you can go and do that exercise.
YOU might not agree that the car owners have to pay for that, but I can assure you non car owners will not pay for your privilege of driving your car!
As for the wear and tear on the roads, a bicycle will be absolutely non consequential for a road. A 10 ton truck most certainly would not.

A fixed high insurance premium is not going to work. Why would you as, say, a pensioner pay a high insurance for your EV if it spends most of it's time in the garage?. If you have a petrol driven car, it would costs you far less, if you don't drive. I would choose the petrol version in that case. Wouldn't you?

What we are coming back to is this.
How are you going to get people to pay proportionally for using the road in EVs!
