It's in the name Road User Charge. It's not a pollution charging mechanism, never has been never will be.RUC ignores fuel efficiency
The reason diesel vehicles got saddled with it it is because it's so much simpler to not place excise tax on it and then you only need one supply of diesel nationally. Farm vehicles, fishing boats, mining etc etc don't want to be claiming back excise tax for not being road users.
So much simpler in every way except small time road users want to whinge about it. Folding EV into RUC is completely fair. No need to whinge about it.
