The price hike is, for EV owners, background noise.
To put energy in my Plus 8 sufficient for 250 miles costs north of £80.00
To put energy in my Tesla sufficient for 250 miles costs north of £8.00
So even if electricity doubles it goes from £8.00 to £16.00......the least of my worries!
The real problem is that the government, which means the taxpayer in general, is loosing £48 of tax on the 250 miles the Tesla travels, not to mention other taxation subsidies on EVs. As always the burden falls on those who have lower incomes and can not afford to buy a new vehicle let alone a new BEV.
Sooner or later governments are going to have to find a formula, say a mileage (road use) tax, to replace fuel revenue. Say £0.15 per mile would seem fair to me
