    To put a slightly different angle on it. I have been disabled and unable to work for 17 years,so live off of government handouts for which I’m truly grateful. So the last thing I want to do is give the government back my money through fuel duty. For every £100 I spent on diesel I was giving 70 of it straight to the government. I’ve had an electric vehicle for five months now and only charged it at home three times. Thankfully the wife works next to a Tesco’s so charges the car there and it costs us nothing not a penny. I have already saved enough money to have paid a good proportion of the AP. My attitude is make hay while the sun shines, I realise Tesco’s won’t be giving me free electric forever and the government will find some way of taxing EV’s.But I will make the most of it whilst they make some decisions,which always takes them years. The main problem the government will have now is upsetting the green lobby whilst milking tax from everyone with EV’s.
