Like I said, not happening anytime soon. Possibly ever. It's virtually
impossible to tax car electricity (the core point) specially compared to
"normal" electricity as you cannot mark it in any special way like fuel
and it's too easy to circumvent.

So they will tax batteries or something else, instead

That would be another angle.

All I'm saying is trying to split the charge at the house meter is
complete nonsense - especially as there are loads of easier ways, as you
just highlighted to add tax to an electric car


Quite, it is easy to tax road fuel, it all comes from a few refineries,
what little of it is used for other purposes can be marked: apply the
tax at those pinch points and it becomes hard to avoid on a significant
scale.
