Everyone here seems to obsess over the negatives and refuse to acknowledge
the positives of EVs.

On my current variable tariff my fuel costs less than 2p per mile. Even if
I was on a standard fixed rate tariff of say 15p/kWh, it would still be
under 5p per mile.

But they'll bring in road charging and it will have to raise as much as
fuel duty. And since energy derived from electricity is more expensive
that energy derived from petrol (both before taxes) we will be worse off.


I do 99% of my charging at home. The only charging I do away from home is
on free chargers. This is of course a time limited perk in Scotland but
Id be a fool not to take advantage of it when convenient. ;-)

It isn't going to last.

Of course they have their downsides (as trumpeted here ad nauseum) and
definitely wont suit everyones usage needs but Ive done 10,000 miles of
stress free motoring since last September.

Stress free for you maybe...
