Taxing EVs makes total sense but I think there are two things that should be changed:
1. Perhaps it's time for an actual road tax - ie upkeep of infrastructure etc. Maybe tolls like France.
2. If EVs are being charged VED in the current system - based on emissions - then big petrol and diesel cars should have an equal or greater increase in their taxation; I'd love that to be earmarked for green initiative like solar etc too

Annual tax based on mileage reading at MOT?

Something like that. I would oppose black box tracking as they gov do enough data collecting as it is - don't want to add location of every car on the road.

France is pretty straight forward for motorways; they have a little box that sits in the car that automatically opens a barrier and charges your account.

MOT mileage would also work assuming it was audited occasionally.

That's a terrible idea.
