you think HMG isn't going to find some way to tax electric mileage after
they have lost the income from fuel duty


Do you think that the government isnt going to tax the **** out of petrol
and diesel over the next 10 years? The one thing you can be certain of is
that petrol and diesel use will be penalised more heavily.

Of course they will find new ways of taxing vehicle use, probably on the NZ
model based on mileage driven as this wont hit those using power for
heating/lighting etc.

Meanwhile, until they do, Im happy to take advantage of it.
