Who would have thought that BP EV chargers are on the cusp of profitability over filling up a petrol car at their pumps so soon in the game.933thedrive.com/2022/01/14/ … lity-race/
It’s only ‘on the cusp’ of being ‘profitable’ because it isn’t ( yet ) subject to road fuel duty + 20% VAT like petrol.
40p per kwh + road fuel duty + 20% won’t even be saleable let alone profitable.The details of the very last Euro Cat 7 emission standard will be known in April this year & from what I’ve read it will effectively be the end of new ICE vehicles in 2025 five years early.
They’re proposing to tighten the 55% emission limit from 2021 standards which would mean a 37.5% reduction on car emissions in 2025 to a 75% tighter reduction emission limit. They seem to be getting public backing for it too in a recent poll. electrive.com/2022/01/14/eu … -new-cars/

A poll among their selected useful idiot supporters they mean.
Hopefully hydrogen at the price of diesel will fix that then the anti ICE zealots will move the goal posts against that.
Bearing in mind we’re not an EU member state and the ‘government’ clearly said 2030 not deliberately effectively ending ICE car sales in 2025.
Which itself goes against the principle of no government being bound by the actions of a previous one.In which case why bother with an election every 5 years.
