I wonder just how long the cheap motoring is going to last for EV’s as more change to electric the closer we will get to some sort of duty paid by the mile.
No matter how much any government wants to encourage folk into EV’s they can’t let the gravy train of motoring taxation go by the way and bare in mind we all have to change at sometime or other.
Of the top of my head I reckon about 10p per mile will be a starter but of course there will be some sort of incentive to go electric for at least the next 9 years but that’s more likely to be in reduced purchase taxes than by the mile use as that will remain the main gravy train.
Petrol and diesel will continue to be taxed at the pump until the day they die but a lot of us will miss out on the cheap motoring for EV’s as it stands today.
IMHO.?
