This will kill EV adoption, just to put it into perspective this is the equivalent of an average ICE car (38.6MPG) having 25.5p added per litre of fuel, in a single budget.
The even more ridiculous thing is plug in hybrids are 1.5p per mile, so people with 80+ miles of range in their Golfs etc. will pay half price, even though they are needlessly dragging around an internal combustion engine for 99% of their journeys.
How do they even enforce this?
I think you will have to report your millage when you pay your car tax, which was only applied to EVs in April this year.
They really seem to hate EV drivers.
They can get it from the MOT too.
First three years you don’t have an mot. I would expect you to have to upload a photo of the odometer, which sounds absolutely awful.
You don’t have an MOT, but by year three you’d have a big bill if the numbers don’t match.
Bet people try it, or at least pushing off a chunk of it
