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.
Do you pay fuel duty? No? So you are not paying the same as other vehicles.
I’m not using the same fuel as other vehicles? Isn’t that kind of the point?
Look, in the end, the tax regime is there to encourage and discourage behaviour in line with overarching government strategy. If the strategy is to stop burning stuff, that should be encouraged and enforced through multiple channels including taxation.
The point is you are expecting other drivers to subsidise your road usage.
Tough titties, you need to start contributing now. Less than half of what others do.
I think you’re still missing the point but I’m going to assume that it’s intentional now.
It’s been real, chatting with you. Have a good life.
No, I am pretty sure you are missing the point. You cannot expect other people to pay for your choices.
