I’m curious to know what others think of this.

I’m personally for keeping it as I see the benefit coming in a few years having many more EV’s available in the second hand market. Currently it’s pretty much dominated by mainly Nissan Leaf’s at the lower end of the secondhand market.

I know of a few people as well who have bought EV/Hybrids recently that would not have even considered going for EV’s or even hybrids without the rebate.

I think RUCs should be levied on all cars based on weight and mileage traveled. You can lower gasoline taxes to make it revenue neutral if you want.

This will mean higher RUCs for electrics but that’s only fair as they chew up the roads more.
