If, like me, you’ve ever left a bath running and found there’s no hot water, it ends up stone cold. You go fill a kettle and pour boiling water in but the bath’s still freezing.
So why do people say that we’ve reached a “tipping point” with the transition to EV when only around 1.7% of cars in UK roads are electric? That means we still have around 33m ICE cars on the roads in the UK, averaging around 9 years old.
Politically these are dangerous times. The top tax rate is 45, 40, 45…. OPW is on, off, on…. the basic rate of tax is 20, 19, 20…
The line on EV needs to be that we’ve barely scratched the surface and now is not the time to raise taxes….. no one wants a cold bath!
