Cars out now will be model year 2026. MY26 Next year they will be building MY27

The UK government decided to not progress with a Contract for Difference (CfD) for the Morocco – UK Power Project. This decision was announced in June 2025, and left the project without an off-take route. This was despite it being privately financed in its entirety, with Xlinks taking on all investment risk. Xlinks continues to explore alternatives to bring the Project’s value to both Morocco and Britain. You can view the official statement on the decision by clicking here.

All cars will last as long as someone is prepared to pay to repair it.

An attempt to get some support back?

I expect the reduction to be off the standard tariff I doubt it will be off the off -peak tariffs

I have only had an Ev 14 months and I am under no illusion that that the ongoing costs of having it are not going to go up year on year.

Did you set the times to nil then get out and lock leave it a while then get in and set it back? Other than that now you have told the bms the new battery details, you could disconnect the battery and let it shutdown then reconnect.

The UK Autumn Statement 2022 given by Jeremy Hunt announced the removal of the free VED (Vehicle Excise Duty) Band A for cars registered between March 2001 and April 2017, and the end of the VED exemption for electric vehicles. These changes came into effect on 1 April 2025.

It's not cynical, it's borderline fraud. Allowing Companies to pay people with Company paid for cars, when one is not needed for business use. To save NI contributions, but the Government benefit from BIK taxes based on a non decreasing value of a company asset, that does reduce in value. It is a controlling measure of the wealthy that they have convinced the middle earner to support to keep their own taxation levels relatively low.

Salary sacrifice is not designed for the employee to buy a car. The scheme is set up to benefit the employer They can effectively pay lower wages, pretend the car is part of those wages, claim the costs of the car against business expense and the government can take tax from the lower wage off the employee. Employee does not end up owning a car.

As more and more people buy electric vehicles the cheap periods will keep reducing in length, as more and more solar and wind becomes available the price of the electricity on standby needed to stabilise the grid will increase.

I have never needed to see the main beam blue light on the dashboard, in conditions when main beam is needed you can see they are on looking out of the window

Maybe all Company cars can be registered in Eire

That is going to create a problem with people living in NI and working in Eire?

Ignition is on but the Battery is not being charged

The change applies retrospectively, meaning that most vehicles registered from 1 April 2025 will not be required to pay the charge. Any vehicles taking out a second licence with effect before 1 April 2026 will be required to pay one year of the charge only. A further legislative change also ensures that all vehicle licences which first have effect on or after 1 April 2026 are subject to the increased threshold, regardless of when the licence is applied for.

It will encourage plugging it in

Maybe by the time it comes in in 2028 we will have to attach our cars to the digital ID in our phone and make a payment to an app to leave the house 😉 It will detect when we have left the Country so as not to charge us for driving abroad.

For me peak car era was a diesel in 2014 Lowest co2 max efficiency just keep them out of confined spaces like cities
