As our P300e was over the Government's £40,000 purchase price limit, it means there is a surcharge on the road tax (after year 1) for 5 years.
So although we paid no tax for the first year (only the statutory £55 registration fee), the tax payable for years 2 to 6 currently stands at £480/year!
I make that £310 a year more expensive than our old 2.2 diesel "pollution machine". So much for going green, a "nice" extra £1,550 for Sunak's black hole.
Road tax is just the start....once they have conned everyone into driving electric or hybrid vehicles the price of electricity will be increased to make it more expensive than petrol !
That's been the argument for a while, they tell you to buy a diesel then wait a few years till most had bought one then tax the hell out of them, then they tell you to go hybrid/EV then they come up with the envy tax for cars over 40k knowing full well any hybrid/EV worth owning will exceed 40k, won't be long now before all the EV owners get blamed for increased pollution from power stations and a hike in taxes, then they'll tell everybody to buy hydrogen cars and then start taxing you for causing local flooding
