Mps are quoted as saying people should pay the same or less tax.

I wouldn’t worry about it. There will be a revolution first. Unless of course Putin gets his way and starts a war.

I'll be undecided until I have to replace my petrol Corsa, which might be another year or 2. Hopefully, things will be more clear-cut by then. but i doubt it. Here's one of the more famous electric cars. The car is still there on the moon, in perfect working order. It just needs a charging point.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

As an aside.... I remember discussions a few years ago about the need to give an EV an artificial engine noise in order to alert pedestrians and cyclists to their approach. As someone who lives on a main road, I was gutted at the prospect of a potential peaceful future being dashed. But, as far as I'm aware, EVs are in fact pretty quiet, so I assume the artificial noise thing never came to pass.

A blind friend & his guide dog had a very close encounter with a 'silent' one last week.

But, as far as I'm aware, EVs are in fact pretty quiet, so I assume the artificial noise thing never came to pass. All EV's are required to generate noise at speeds up to 30mph. My son's Tesla creates a Dr Who style noise, while mine makes an unholy whining noise. I deliberately turn mine off, not because I dislike it, but it makes me focus on pedestrian activity. Most vehicles have autonomous braking anyway, and I can confirm that it is a very effective system.
