"Simon England, founder of ALA Insurance, said: "Drivers are being encouraged to switch to electric cars ahead of the 2030 ban on ICE vehicles but financial incentives are quickly disappearing.
"If EV drivers are expected to pay the same, or more, than petrol and diesel drivers, then that's a legitimate barrier that will deter thousands of road users from switching.
"The rise in EV adoption will leave quite a gap in the government's revenue from road tax, but raising taxes for electric cars is definitely off-putting to people considering a switch, especially when they won't have a choice from 2030, as it stands."
Why bother switching.. Really stupid policy. Like most of the others. Badly thought out like the others. Meanwhile the Chinese flood the market with sub £135 goods that attract no duty and are unfair competition. Could raise Billions ...but no. Let's not upset the Chinese..
