Am I missing something? Not currently an EV user but hasn’t the electricity you use to charge it if at home already been taxed.
Currently there’s a vast amount of duties levied on fossil fuels, as more transition to electric cars that duty shrinks. This 3ppm is supposed to help replace lost revenue. It was always going to happen in some form as fuel duties raise billions to the exchequer.
So, while there’s a relatively small amount of VAT on domestic electricity supply and more on commercial charging, the duty losses are where this new tax is going.
I'm Autistic, if I say something you find offensive, please let me know, I can guarantee it was unintentional.
I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
