This will kill EV adoption, just to put it into perspective this is the equivalent of an average ICE car (38.6MPG) having 25.5p added per litre of fuel, in a single budget.
The even more ridiculous thing is plug in hybrids are 1.5p per mile, so people with 80+ miles of range in their Golfs etc. will pay half price, even though they are needlessly dragging around an internal combustion engine for 99% of their journeys.
How is it implemented, practically?
I read on the BBC News site that it will be at the yearly MOT they will gauge how many miles have been done for the year and it will then be charged via the DVLA. They know that people will tamper with the odometers and haven’t yet figured out how to handle that situation.
