Per mile road pricing with a scale based on weight and emissions.With the growing trend, and push by government, for electric vehicles I wonder how the treasury is going to make up the shortfall from people no longer paying VED and fuel duty ? £50 for a packet of fags, £15 a pint for beer, 30% VAT, etc ? They give with one hand and take with the other so, with nothing being free in this world, I'm betting there is going to be a knock on effect from electric car usage that will end up costing as much as it saves in the long run.
