electric cars

They said the price of LPG would rocket for the same reason.

It hasn't, and those using it are saving around 40% of their fuel costs.

Negative guessing won't put people off - have you seen that pretty little Renault ?

100 Mile range just won't do it for me. 160 miles to work on Monday am, 160 miles back thurs evening..

Otherwise it is a shoe-in, current costs are 14p a mile for fuel, leccy cars are less than half that, add in the zero road tax, and I would be £2,200 a year better off.

Not yet they don`t charge road tax, the point is once people start turning to electric cars and the government start losing their holiday money from the tax they make on petrol, they WILL start charging and the electricity will go up from 14p a unit to £1.40 (at least) a unit.
The government rely on the money they make from petrol, how do you think the will make up the deficit?

This is a theory, right?

No, its a fact, they did it with the solar panels, they will do it with the electric. So the quicker you get your BMX out from under the blanket in the garage the better.
Our government neeeeed their money, and they will always try and get it somehow. Once people get their electric cars and the price of electicity sours, they will have no choice but to pay it, same with petrol, we have no choice but to buy it at these overinflated prices, cos??? we need our cars.
But its not just the electricity for the cars which will go up, it will be electircity all round.

You have some credible links or is it an opinion?

lpg hasnt rocketed because we still have petrol, if they didnt get duty from petrol they would get it from LPG.
