  • I think the disconnect is VED is based on pollution output while the actual money it generates goes towards upkeep of the roads. Electric cars put just as much wear on the infrastructure so IMO should pay the same "road tax", but also we want to encourage less polluting vehicles for air quality.

  • while the actual money it generates goes towards upkeep of the roads

    VED very explicitly doesn't go towards upkeep of roads, it just goes into the general taxation pool. Same as alcohol duty or whatever.

  • Sure what I mean is it eventually does because part of all tax goes to road upkeep.
