I wonder what will happen to all of us Motability users when the time comes that we have to have an EV (from 2030 onwards)… and the government go ahead with plans to charge everyone by the miles they do? That’s going to mean a sizeable AP for a start, even for smaller EV’s, and then a suggested £1.50 per mile on top of that. When you think of how many bi££ions the government currently make from fuel duty – that’s going to be a massive shortfall to make up. Will we get reduced concessions? It’s all food for thought…
If the government was going to charge a per mile cost rather than on fuel duty why would you expect a cheaper rate or exemption? It is the same as now where you pay the tax on your fuel – this way you would just have a separate charge that could be equivalent to the fuel duty we already pay.
Not sure why if would affect the AP either?
