Perhaps local fuel.stations having increased duty applied could work to a certain degree?

I read a piece that said very low mileage users doing less than 5K/year would be exempt.


Here's a thing! If London gets it's expansion to cover all of greater London what will happen to those petrol stations within that area if car traffic falls ?



Shell & BP have been converting petrol stations into EV charging hubs all across the country like the one in Fulham recently. https://insideevs.com/news/559069/sh...n-ev-charging/


BP have just announced that their EV chargers are on the cusp of profitability over filling up a petrol car at their pumps. I wouldn't have thought that would have happened so soon as BEV numbers although rising fast YOY are still low numbers.
