A very divisive idea, given the current proportion of cars which are EVs. It would create an ‘us and them’ situation between the EV car elite and the rest of car owners causing resentment, and worse.
I was out in the New Forest yesterday and standing in a car park waiting for the family to organise themselves. In front of me were three cars – a Hyundai, a Honda and a Ford. They were 12 to 14 years old and looked to be in good condition, and clearly still providing reliable daily transport. It will be a few years yet before the public at large will be driving EVs. Being able to drive faster isn’t the way to get people to change. Cost and infrastructure is.
