I've seen yet another interview with the "green lobby" where it was stated that electric cars will benefit the pockets of those owning one because they will be much cheaper to run (than petrol/diesel). One of the benefits of the green economy in 2035 to 2050.
Do these people really believe that the government are going to give up the income from fuel tax and not impose the equivalent on newer technology once the take up starts hitting the government coffers?
