Electric cars could be taxed to fund power stations
While electric cars are pushed as a greener form of transportation, they do need some source of fuel and it is thought that Britain will need additional power stations if the Climate Change Committee’s view that we should have 1.7m of them on the roads by 2020.
The national grid is already struggling to provide the electricity that we need and electric cars would demand a great deal extra. A suggested fuel duty of 10p per mile for these vehicles would fund up to 10,000 new wind turbines each year.
Renewable energy funding is currently at a low due to financial nervousness. However, a taxation on electric cars would put some people off who might be tempted by what is theoretically a cheaper form of transport.
