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.

    No, it wasn’t, I didn’t mention fairness because that is not my point at all

    That you?:

    In order to introduce this they needed to apply it to both ICE and EVs equally

    Normal cars are taxed per your own calculations twice as much as EVs. That is far away from “equal” treatment but at least EVs owners now will START contributing.

      Fairness and equality are different words and mean different things, you also cut off the second half of that quote in an attempt to prove your point.
