    Here’s a shocker – BBC News “Electric cars will leave hole in tax revenues, says Treasury”

    “Taxes must increase or services be cut to compensate for the loss of fuel tax income thanks to the advent of electric cars, the Treasury has admitted”

    “One idea would be to charge motorists for every mile they drive.  But the AA says such road pricing will be tough to sell politically.  Instead, the motoring organisation is proposing a system of “Road Miles” in which motorists are allowed to drive free of charge for 3,000 miles (4,000 in rural areas) before they start paying.”

    If they make that a free 3,000 miles per year then that’s me sorted. 🙂
