EVs - Per Mile Tax - Why 2028?

Join me as I discuss last week's news that a per-mile tax is being considered for plug-in vehicles. If the tax is introduced, it will apply from 2028. But why 2028?

This is the latest in a series of videos sharing my knowledge and experience with electric cars. EVs have improved immensely over the last few years, and we are at a point where I think the majority of people can make the switch to electric.

The aim of my channel is to provide knowledge and plain speaking about the transition we all face. I hope you will join me for other videos on the move towards a renewable energy future. I will be covering plenty more about EVs, but will also be sharing my experiences as I look into energy generation and electric heating.
