It is inevitable that all taxes and compulsory payments in any way connected to the government will increase annually.

I see that EV owners are still not obliged to pay road tax, although they still use the roads AND due to their cars being heavier must create more surface wear or damage than the rest of us.

The government, of course, still wants everyone to buy an electric car because they are determined to achieve their holy grail: 'nett zero', which is, of course, unachievable.

My motor is so old It doesn't even show on the list..

There is an Expensive Car Supplement.. If a car was bought for over 40,000 in the last five years .. this will add 410 ..

I might pop over the other side and tell  Brian..

Remember when it was £5 and the labour government put it up to £25? Bloody Wilson

Government's losing it's money making road tax because of people moving to electric cars, wait until everyone's moved, bet they start hitting the people with road tax PDQ.

and so they should. The EVs are not pollution free, the building of them creates a lot pf pollution. They also cause more damage to the roads because they are heavier  my hybrid weighs around 4 cwt more than its petrol predecessor

Exactly.

They should never have been tax free in the first place, it was all a plan to get everyone over to getting one. Didn't work though many many people have kept their fuel cars and refuse to budge.....myself included.
