Posted By: fostertomShould hybrids be included or are these just an unsatisfactory interim step?
Posted By: barneyWhat do we do when we all have one - start taking away the incentives I guess ?
Posted By: GreenPaddyIt does make me think of a certain previous gov't subsidy scheme (in the first few years) whereby the relatively well off could afford to buy solar panels, and get generous gov't payback, funded by the the majority of less well off tax payers.

Tax payable at 40% in 2019:
Range Rover Sport diesel : £12356pa
Range Rover Sport plugin hybrid : £6560pa
Tesla model 3 electric : £3612pa decreasing to £0 pa in 2020
So there's a big incentive to choose a hybrid, even if you don't plan to ever recharge it. Even more incentive to choose electric.
Posted By: nigeltaxing carbon for example would be regressive too
We should be taxing consumption more than we do and where that is regressive then the social welfare system should be used to provide support for the less well off.

Stepping back, seems the question is 'how should central government encourage takeup of electric cars'?
Posted By: Mike13) Make affordable regular public transport widely available
4) Make adequate space for public transport and cycling on urban and suburban roads at the expense of provision for private motor vehicles
Posted By: Peter_in_HungaryIf it is supposed to be in any sort of order then #3 and #4 should be at #1 by a few years to change the mindset of the population - a quick evolution rather than a painful revolution.
Posted By: borpinAs for public transport, I just don't want to waste 15Hrs a week additional travelling time.
Billions gets spent building by-passes and widening roads when much less money would be needed to put a cycle track (that could be walked on) alongside your 60mph A road. That should be the priority.
Posted By: philedgeIf we want decent take up of cycling as a default means of transport you dont want walkers mixing it with cyclists.
