Whist painting today I had the radio on in the background and there was
a article on electric vehicles. One contributor seemed to believe that
the utopian era of zero road fund tax, zero congestion charges and cheap
refuelling energy would go on forever hence the purchase and running
cost of a EV would always be cheaper that running petrol/diesel.

Quite. Like lots of their advocates they live in the present while
claiming to speak for the future.

Is that worse than many of the respondents here who live in the past and
claim to speak for the future? Its obvious that the majority of anti-EV
comments are coming from folk who have never owned nor driven one.

I'm not anti. Especially for the boss to use as a shopping trolley. The
manufacturers seems to have added the Government discount to the asking
price:-(
