What is it going to cost to fill up with electricity ?
Simple question.
Or how much per kw


**** all compared to overly taxed petrol.


So why tax it, if it's that cheap it'd cost mor eto collect the tax that
you get.


They do that anyway with dog licenses etc.

so, what will a car be called a non dometisc applience whicvh gets free
electricity paid for by the govenrment ?


It's paid for by me, at the same rate as my household electricity, just
not overly taxed like petrol. Petrol has 400% tax!


Well if it's paid by you someone has to work out how much you owe them.
Now if the company that supplies you with the electricity doesn't know how
much you're taking from them.... and if they do which is what I suspect
then the govenment will ask them.

What you havent explained is why the govenrment will choose to tax
electricity differntly for cars. They dont tax it differntly for kettle
TV, washing machine and storage raidators.


can you tell me who's going to pay for the elecicity used to drive UK
cars.


Their owners.


exactly so why all, this woryy about how will the govenment tax these
owners.

Of course, astronomers have had pictures of colliding galaxies for quite
some time now, but with the vastly improved resolution provided by the
Hubble Space Telescope, you can actually see the lawyers rushing to the
scene...
