Where did I say they should? I was offering it as an explanation for RAC coming up with a story that is actually factually incorrect anyway.
I pay 5% VAT on electricity for charging at home and 20% whilst public charging, that’s hundreds per year.
I paid at least £3k extra in VAT versus a comparable ICE vehicle at purchase, that’s equivalent to duty on 5000 litres of petrol, so I reckon that covered around 44k miles worth of equivalent fuel duty before I started.
Whilst EVs are at present zero VED, many ICE cars are running around paying zero VED as well.
It’s not quite the uneven playing field you think it is, and please let’s not make this another ‘EV vs ICE’ thread, we’re all up a creek without a paddle to some extent right now.
