Steve Berry the auto journalist was on BBC, this morning talking about it. I agree with him that the heavy taxations are coming for EV’s. He thinks ‘pay as you drive’. It’s possible. I think the cost to charge will increase to plug the gap of lost revenue of oil based fuels. It’s the easiest way to do it and the government will not do anything complicated.
Plus there’s road tax. Even now, any EV over £40k costs £455 per year road tax after the first year. An i3 with extras easily slots into this bracket. I think that EV road tax will be based on initial cost plus power output.
? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
