Getting a classic with an old fashioned speedo would look promising if this ever happened. I can’t see it ever happening it would be cocked up in every way imaginable and be very unpopular as it’s not going to replace VED and fuel duty it will be a combination of all three.

and for the EVs a separate tariff for recharging
i use a 13amp 3pin plug charger, how will you know when its a car charging and not my dishwasher?

they also want to encourage EV purchase so they wont tax anything that is solely EV related

far easier to stick up ANPR cameras on selected commuter routes like mways to auto generate bills

inital road pricing does not need to cover every mile of every road, you can simply create control areas: £10 to enter the M25, £7.50 to enter any other mway, £5 to use any river crossing (in addition to its normal charge), £2.50 to use a major road intersection. Very easy to setup and would cover 90% of commuter drivers, and you could offer a discount for EV cars

Lol taxed on fuel and then road taxed too + EV getting a discount rofl If there are not street fking riots at that point Joe Public is well and truly screwed.
