  1. The sooner we get rid of the green party the better.

    Electric and hybrids are far heavier than normal cars because of the weight of the batteries.

    They literally have zero understanding of how reliant this country is on cars.

    How about introducing a tax on electric bicycles and e scooters to fund cycle infrastructure?

    Edit: cue 55 down votes by the cycle looneys.

  2. Good, if you live in a city and don’t need a large jeep. Not good if you live in a farm or up a road that the council hasn’t touched since the 70s.

  3. Not long now until road tax on EVs in order to make up for the lost revenue.

  4. > Electricity taxation may provide a contribution to the alternative revenue streams, which may be required to replace fossil fuel revenues in the future.

    Eh, fuck off.

  5. far too many SUVS around these days. tax them to fack. should only be exempt if you are working in construction or farming etc. show your safety pass or green cert then bang youre free of the tax.
