The govenrment have managed to tax electricity you use for years now, so why would taxing electricity for cars be any differnt ?


I pay a hell of a lot less for heating oil than the pump price for
Diesel. The taxing of that sort of stuff is already pretty different for
road use than domestic.

I'm sure they'd love to be able to tax electricity like that. Trouble is
you can't dye it red.

Not sure that's a problem.
