Like I said, not happening anytime soon. Possibly ever. It's virtually

So they will tax batteries or something else, instead

If it doesn't move, tax it, if it moves, tax it.

I see Ofgem are proposing charging a higher rate of VAT on heavy users
of electricity (or a variable rate depending on usage). There is an
article in the 'i' about it.

No - I haven't read the proposal. Immediately makes me ask what happens
if you want to recharge at a friend's house? What if your recharging
pushes them into some sort of extra cost as a heavy user?
