However i'll make you a promise
if possible
Once EVs become more popular
Electricity will start getting taxed to shi
Since they will lose out on fuel tax
I doubt it
They'll change vehicle tax
And increase the tax for electric vehicles
To offset the lost revenue from fuel
there was talk of taxing roads IIRC. like per distance traveled
6 of one half a dozen of the other
The result is no real savings
or lossses
this
Maybe losses
IFS warns the switch from fossil fuel to electric will cause tax revenue to drop £28bn
Yup
>The ideal approach, it added, would be a system of road pricing under which the charges for driving would vary according to the time of day and the location. Those driving in busy places would pay more, but the majority of journeys would be taxed less heavily than at present, the IFS said.
Youi get used to the revenue
so the incentive becomes to perpetuate the thing that is giving you that tax
It's a sharp AF double edged sword
``There was an advantage in acting quickly, the IFS warned, because it would be much harder politically to introduce such taxes only once the revenue from fuel duties had dropped much further and many people had bought hybrid or electric cars in the expectation of paying little tax on them``
yeah
that wont go down well
They won't say they're doing it. They'll just do it.
If you want EV savings invest early and get the savings before it doesnt even matter
Same with grants for things like wind energy to make it affordable
That has to go away eventually
and wind either has to step up and be less shit energy density wise or it won't look good for new investments in it
just look at them
and you will understand
Its a religion for the unreligious
Only question is how long will this cult last
cults are funny that way
They are genuinely worse then even the Religious Fundamentalists
EV isn't coming any time soon
That is the gist of what i was saying yes
