Well yes. But it's impossible to tax electricity specifically for road
use. It can't be 'marked' in the same way as heating oil etc is to
differentiate that from road fuel.

No, but it's very simple to level a punitive rate if tax for consumption
in
excess of a given limit. Say we decide that the maximum permitted per
household is 300 kWh per month and anything over that is taxed at
98p/kWH.
That would sort out both excessive users[1] and electric car owners[1].

If an electric car owner can reduce use of domestic electricity to
compensate for their use in a car good luck to them.

[1] Same thing.


All you need to get round that is a PV panel.
Most sensible people will have one in the near future.

Jings but you're dumber than a ****ing rock. When the working person gets
home, how many hours of daylight before morning?

I notice that as usual with you, you have just slimed away from your
ludicrous claims about fuel and battery weight.

Which ludirous claims were those?

They were ludicrous claims harry, not ludirous.

You remember, your series of ludicrous claims made over the last two days.
You blabbed that fuel is heavy and forgot that batteries are ten time
heavier. You claimed that there's not much difference in weight between a
car that runs on fuel and one that runs on batteries when in truth the car
running on batteries can be twice the weight.

As usual you lie and weasel.

I expect your grandad wanted to keep horses when the ICE engine appeared.

I expect your grandfather looked into your cot and said "I don't know what
that is, put it out of its misery."
