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.
On ICE you have fuel duty at 52.95 pence for every litre, then VAT @20% is paid on both the pre-tax price of the fuel and the price of the additional fuel duty.
Fuel duty 52.95p + 20% VAT (10.59p)
At pressent BEV’s currently don’t attract any form of fuel duty, but they do attract VAT on charging, at either 5% or 20% depending on where you charge.
It was obvious the government wouldn’t exlude BEV’s from the fuel duty money pit however, this government is making is going out of its way by adding stumbling blocks to what has already difficult transition and is making it increasingly harder for manufacturers to meet their targets. I would of expected per mile charge and VED, to have been held back till at least after 2030 and is just pure greed by the government, who only have themselves to blame, if their moves further slow transition.
