saving in not buying petrol or diesel.

Explain to me how this is not tax avoidance given that electricity for use in road vehicles is not presently taxed.

Do you mean that if i charge an electric car from my home electricity without having some special charger there is no VAT on it?

 

Any links please to this 'tax free electricity'?

VAT on lecky is only 5% from memory.

there will need to be customs decs for the power from France too!

From this article

 

Erik Andresen, head of Norway's car importers´ federation, said the boom for electric cars was denting Norway's tax revenues, raising questions about future reforms to raise cash from the 5.3 million population.

 

 

 

Not to worry, they are doing just fine there with clean air. 

 I have family living and working there & in the Oil & Gas industry.

Which reminds me sometime in the 50's my father bought a 1930s BSA car. I suspect it only had about 10hp when it was new. To this day I am traumatised by memories of 14 hour 'holiday' journeys to Cornwall /Devon in it. I recall with particular fondness those golden times when we had to get out and carry the luggage to get up some west country hills. 

Ah those blue remembered hills

If you ever fancy reliving those heady days, just give me a shout, I'll lend you my 1.9 SDI

I was also traumatised with holidays. Driving up or down Porlock Hill and the approach to Lynton/Lynmouth in a 1954 Ford Popular made me travel sick. We were overtaken by  Austin Cambridges, Cortinas and Jowett Javerlins while my father's knuckles were white in trying to keep the Pop in a straight line.
