I was having a discussion with a guy who'd just bought a new electric van because of the massive savings in London
No ulez
No congestion charge
Free tax
Cheap charging
I don't think he'd done his homework though

Anything new doesn't pay the ulez charge and free road tax and no congestion charge for EVs ends in 13 months

So from 2025 apart from cheaper charging(at home) there's little saving to be made by buying an EV for use in London

The real change for EV costs will be when the Govt stops subsiding the fuel for them so heavily. Or, more correctly, starts charging an equivalent to fuel duty. Fuel duty is on a litre of petrol is about a third of the total cost of the fuel (or like a 50% markup). Try the EV cost calculations with a 50% increase in electricity charges.

Front page article on one of our daily 'broadsheets' on how the advertising standards found TFL advertising of the benefits of ULEZ were misleading printed today.

I can't see how you would differentiate electricity use at work... Given the vast majority of new EV cars are connected, and the CCTV systems we have on our roads...we will be pay per mile soon.

One issue I have with the energy companies is that they say 100% green electricity, i.e from low CO2 (there no such thing as zero emission!) but this is the past years electricity generation mix. 35% is Gas alone. I don't think they're tellling the truth on this.
