Posted on 13/11/2022 11:57 by DavidKlyneSurely the advantage of road pricing is that it can be tailored to circumstances. For example a higher price for entering cities and using motorways so you won't need all these separate schemes. Small country roads might only require a modest charge that would probably be less that current ICE Road Tax. That is the beauty of the system is that it can be flexibly applied. You could be charged less the travel at the weekend or perhaps overnight but more during the week and even that could be broken down to peak and off peak rates. Most of us on here who are discussing this can see the pros and cons because we are thinking about it. The danger is that the "Great British Public" won't take time to think about the and work out the possible benefits between the two systems?

Am I right in thinking they have already stopped the grants towards new EV's?

Although this has changed personally we haven't benefited from that one David as we bought a pre-reg, nor the smart charger payment either as it worked out cheaper to install our own! What we have benefited from is very cheap non polluting motoring for that last 6 years. We will be disappointed if we have to contribute extra and I suspect our motorhome might cost more to run by the end of this week.
