If fuel duty is to pay for roads, why should boats pay for them?


If fuel duty and road tax revenues were spent on roads they would
indeed be paved with gold.

Now general revenue is going to have start subsidising the road user
as people go electric. Next thing is that we'll have to stop heating
our water and using airconditioners to make up for the power
shortfall.


There is more than enough spare grid capacity overnight and weekends to
recharge every vehicle an average of 2 times per week.

Or to put it another way - nowhere near enough capacity.

(and that is before you start moving significant parts of the transport
and heating load onto the electrical system)
