how long do you think that will last?
5 years I reckon. They just need a way to differentiate between electric use for travel and keeping warm.

Per mile charging
In 2016 there were 324 billion miles travelled by car. Tax that at 10p per mile and you get over £32b revenue. In 2014-2015 fuel duty raised £27b (and another £4b in VAT).
So there you go. 10p / mile as a baseline.
They will start taxing it via increase in compulsory motor insurance - very easy for them to do because make of car is known and declared travel miles also, just multiply it by rate (modified by car model) and it's done. Naturally cost of diesel/petrol won't go down!
Only thing is it will put more people on bikes.

I am soon going to start my bike training![]()
