When electric cars some in they'll have big problem as their take from petrol is very high, I reckon they'd mandate per mile charging on motorways using cameras that can already record number plates.

Ah I see. The estimate for the X in the US is $35k, which we all know will translate to £45k ish.
My HMRC manipulation scheme should work, until they retrospectively 'amend' the tax laws, in their usual manner.

This 40k limit though is sure not to rise as fast as inflation, so will trap more and more cars per year. Also how does this work with cars like the Outlander Phev, currently it attracts no road tax but the range topping model is over 40k attracting the premium, yet it's as low emmission as all the other phevs. Seems poorly thought out.
Would it be possible to game the system by disabling everything on the X and then paying for features on collection of the car once it is licensed and taxed I wonder.
BMW should catch on to this. I remember being the mug who paid over £1200 for a TV tuner.Last edited by clearedforlanding; 25 February 2016, 20:48. Reason: Because Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony.
