    “I've been saying so for years, meaning that the apparent "saving" owning an EV will steadily be lost and with it any incentive to buy one. The current "tax holiday" can't last. ”


    Well it didn’t take Einstein to work it out - there’s been miles of discussion on it for years


    So, why now do you post something as if it’s amazing news?


    What’would’ be well worth discussing is the disparity between different nations and how they might effect the changes

    eg. the UK may have a totally different system to Australia - because road fuel in the UK is almost double (apx) the price of fuel in Oz - meaning that the UK will have a far larger amount to make up than Oz when most go electric


    How does one separate road power from house power?
    The obvious might not work so easily

    in the UK there’s road diesel, red diesel for non road use and heating oil - all of which can run engines

    there’s road checks to see that people only use road diesel in cars - checking the chemistry


    However - electric power is electric power - once it’s in a battery - there’s no way to check how it got there

    with the huge road tax - there’s going to be a lot of backyard enterprises going on at a guess
