Although we will eventually be paying per mile or getting hit with sudden increases of VED. Which will apply to EVs as well. ULEZ will be replicated in every city in the country. If it fails pay per mile will come in. Supercar performance for a fraction of the cost. Its tempting with manufacturers now addressing weight and handling issues that come with them. The tech is interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US EV Tech Government Meeting I don't think there will be many countries who's grids would be able to cope with the surge of electricity required for 50% adoption of EV's. The climate impact of building EV's is a problem, but also the infrastructure required to generate that much electricity will also have a negative on climate change. The worlds biggest polluter is China at 30% of all global emissions, just pushing EV's is not enough, more should done to kerb emissions from power stations and factories etc, China, with more than 10,065 million tons of CO2 released. United States, with 5,416 million tons of CO2 India, with 2,654 million tons of CO2 Russia, with 1,711 million tons of CO2 Japan, 1,162 million tons of CO2 Germany, 759 million tons of CO2 Iran, 720 million tons of CO2 South Korea, 659 million tons of CO2 Saudi Arabia, 621 million tons of CO2 Indonesia, 615 million tons of CO2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This measure effectively removes Band A under the graduated VED system (for cars registered on or after 01/03/01 and before 01/04/17 with a CO2 emissions). As the Band A rate is currently £0, these vehicles will be required to move to the first band where a rate becomes payable – in this case Band B." Unless I'm getting confuzzed here (likely), the above suggests that our 2015/2016 C1 and Aygo will become payable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 It's the Government; assume they're going to charge you. Even if it's not in 2025, it wont be long after. This was always going to happen. It was never a case of if, but when. Also, spoiler; it'll only ever increase in cost too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the top line says this only applies to electric vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
