EV,s should now be taxed on their weight, as an EV weighs more that a standard ICE car,
Ergo, being heavier they damage the road more than a ‘normal’ real car. |
Yeah always been said EV cars weigh more.
Is this why UK roads are in the crap state they're in? (let alone the lack of investment, budget cuts, etc.)... |  |

Surely these pre-budget "nuclear" tax and money raising options are purely to make the actual budget seem relatively benign?
Threaten to stab people in the eye beforehand but only kick them in the goolies come the day and they'll shrug and say "phew, that's a relief". |  | | |

Road repairs should come out of the pot of income from the road fund licence, which those EVs have to pay as well now.
Congestion Charge or ULEZ wasn't meant to cover road repairs, or has this argument moved on from this?
My personal favourite is the variable speed limit that comes into effect on the M4 sometimes. The gantry sign indicates that we should drop to 50 or 40 to improve the air quality, as we drive past one of the busiest airports in the world, which is also getting closer to being allowed an extra runway, so it can become more busy... |  | | |

If we want the hole in the ozone layer to get smaller we're all gonna have to pay to drive around London! |
If you want the mayor of London to be the highest paid politician in the country, if you want 2,217 TfL staff to be paid more than £100k a year, if you want the tube unions to keep going on strike because they see tfl making its own staff rich and they want their members to be rich too, you’re going to have to pay (A LOT) to drive in London. |  |

Another leftie at the jukebox @Disco.
Otherwise, every single line of this is incorrect and /or has nothing to do with the congestion charge or electric vehicles. [Post edited 17 Nov 13:14]
