EV sales are going down the pan. Sooner or later, governments will bring in road tax for them as charging 0 road tax for some 3 ton beast that does 0-60 in 3 seconds is unsustainable. To some degree a saturation point has been reached for people that can afford a decent EV and have the space to charge one overnight on these tariffs, which is the only way to make them economical.
There’s no chance you’ll get them in terraced housing or flats and office blocks don’t give a fuck as loads of people WFH after Covid. Why would anyone pay £50k for a Tesla when you can get a great used ICE car for half the price or less and not have to worry about infrastructure at home or long journeys? Same thing happened with solar panels mid 2000s, then the government pulled up the rug and the whole lot went tits up.
And their banning production of new ICE cars from 2030? Do me a favour, that’s five years away. The majority of the UK will still be driving ICE cars by 2060 at least.
