They aren't going to, it's impossible to tax electricity by type of use. They will bring in road pricing, focusing on motorways/high density routes at first, extending to other areas later. They won't drop fossil fuel tax to compensate either, they will use it to further 'persuade' people to switch away from ICE.

In Italy VAT of 22% is charged on electricity used for charging BEVs. It can be reduced to 10% if the supply is only from photovoltaic panels.
VAT of 22% applies to all industrial uses and 10% to domestic or residential (aged care etc.). A charging column can not be connected to a domestic supply but I think that slow charging can be done from a domestic supply. I don't yet have the problem so I don't know how it works.
