    Rachel from accounts clearly has no idea how the pay per mile is going to work, what an embarrassment. https://youtu.be/VbEbmDACZDQ?si=1GwrZV2TuZq9vqHI

    Why does she not put on public EV charging points, no different petrol stations.

    Most people charge at home, it wouldn’t raise enough to be worth the hassle or bad publicity.

     

    Exactly this.  There is already a barrier to move to BEV in that public charging can be more expensive than fossil fuels, add duty to that at 10p per kWh and that just increases that barrier without gaining as much as intended from EV use.  Meanwhile cars are pushing the range capability, meaning that in any very long distance journey, the first 200-400 miles would be duty free and that could be the vast majority, if not all, of the journey itself.  People whose use resembles mine would drive thousands of miles a year duty free and pay maybe as much as £16 a year duty thanks to the occasional longer trip.  That’s not going to help feed many kids.
