Last month I collected the FIT for both July and August and it not only paid my gas, electric, land line phone and broadband costs for August - but it paid ME £75!! Our next car will most likely be a dual petrol(hopefully LPG)/electric one that we can charge for free via the PV solar panels. Yes - this does mean that Governments have to consider how they collect future tax revenue. So what? ![]()

![]() How would you suggest they collect revenue for electrical vehicles?

![]() Kaiser, or xx if you prefer, I'm sure I'm missing something. In posts 72 & 79 you mention 'you' but, at least for me, the object is unclear. May I ask you again who your intended audience is ie: an individual or a wider aspect. I wouldn't want to misunderstand your meaning. Thanks.

If we scrapped tax on fuel now then we would see prices of all goods drop because transportation costs would fall. The tax revenue would no doubt have to be replaced - but if prices in the shops fall then to balance, we would not need such high personal income tax allowance which currently in the U.K. is £12,500. If this were halved to circa £7000, then I suspect this would go some way to replacing the lost tax revenue.

I would be unhappy if I, as a cyclist, would have to subsidize you as an electric vehicle user, for using the infrastructure. No doubt any government would be forced to consider the users of EVs to pay their fair share of such infrastructure. Currently that is done via a tax on the fuel you use. So if you don't drive, you pay nothing, if you drive, you pay proportionally to the amount you use of fuel. Now, how would that be done for electric vehicles?

![]() You pay a Vehicle Excise Tax(VEL) to use a vehicle on a road, its been done before, say £300.00 per 4wheeled, and £100.00 increase for another 2wheels. Pollution tax paid by maker on each vehicle at 10% of Retail sale price. No "special cases" Chris.S.

![]() Simple. Every charging point, even domestic outlets, to contain a mini dedicated meter, they are very simple. Commercial establishments to charge before plug release or have credit card inserted prior to charging. Domestic charge points have separate tariffs which are added to usual domestic direct debit bills. These can be changed remotely to reflect duties payable as in smart meters so tax imperatives can be maintained. However, if total charges are equivalent to liquid fuel usage there is no cost advantage so will affect roll-out. Cost will always be a factor. There will be glitches, but there is minimal hardware, no outer premises or staff overheads and instant disconnection where required. Provider revenue (and their corp. tax) is liable.

How are you going to differentiate between domestic use of electricity and the charging of an EV?.
