    Electric cars cause more damage than good, been mentioned on DK before!

    This was posted earlier in DK SB, wrong utter wrong to a point but write to another.

    Some of us cycle 12 miles a day to/from work.

    Then at weekends do a whopping 20 miles all weekend.

    So yes money terms could see the point, but you will still need to insurance and mot.

    So just pay everything, cost of hire that vehicle/day. Use your vehicle x times
    Hey presto dont feel robbed

    When we changed VED to an emissions based system, some cars were £40, £20 or even £0 a year to ‘tax’. That obviously caused a loss of revenue to the Government That changed again in 2018 when all cars are now at leas £165 to tax. In 2018 I bought a 1.0 litre car and was looking forward to cheap road tax so this is how I found out. The Government are not losing out on road tax and never will be if they’re charging ‘per vehicle’ in the future for zero emissions vehicles.
