Lots of post on them but what do they cost

How is the government going to recover all the fuel tax, when the the
majority of vehicles are electric.

Tax electricity instead.


Unlikely. Too many people bordering on fuel poverty as it is at the moment
and no way of differentiating consumption. More likely an NZ style mileage
tax.

I would be surprised if electric vehicles do not have an inbuilt ability
to detect when they are on charge and what rate they are charging at. If
so, the means to measure their electricity use is already there and just
needs to be output.
