They are already putting the tracking tech into new cars certainly all new EV's so a tax per mile is the future as simple as that for both Ice and EV's with the tech. Whoever and when they introduce it will not win the next election. If anyone thinks they can limit the free cheap movement by tax of the population now they are used to it are as mad as a march hare. I like the 20p a litre off fuel the Reform party are proposing to be honest.
A road tax per mile is a very good idea, and is long overdue.It means that those who use the network most pay a greater proportion of the maintenance costs of that network, no-one can disagree about that.Why should someone just bodging about doing local shopping by subsidising people driving across the country...it makes no sense!The cost of ICE fuel is going to be determined by international prices, and is vulnerable to unreliable suppliers like Uncle Vlad.EV mainly charge at night, and take the cheap leccy from the wind farms when demand is low.Basically they are performing a very useful service grid balancing for the National Grid.This is an important role in the energy transition, as fossil fuels are replaced.
I have just received a letter from Evans Halshaw on Wheatley Hall Road that their show room is being closed later this year and my car will be serviced at the Peugeot Vauxhall joint show room and service station nearby. So sales and service personnel out of jobs, the reason when I asked was sales have slumped since going mainly EV in the PSA group. Will it be the first of many ?
