Either way it's a good deal, but does not factor the massive capital

But how long will it be before the government decide that they have to
tax the electricity to charge a car at the equivalent rate as the tax or
petrol/diesel? Why do you think that they want smart meters fitted to
every household?


Can they tell the difference between green and red electrons or something?


No but the blue ones are easy to spot. That's when they use E7 'charging' ;-)
