Nah, I brimmed it this morning, at a cost of £40.Should've brimmed it then - at the nearest practical filling station before your final stop. Own it or moan it...

...It’s a shame EV’s aren’t yet as good to drive as a C class....
Come back when electricity for recharging is taxed as per petrol and diesel - which were taxed long before the need to reduce CO2 emissions was identified.What subsidy on EV’s ?
Charging someone less Road fund licence because they’ve just paid several thousand extra in VAT sounds like GordonBrown logic
The UK government makes a lot of money from nudging people into more expensive cars than our French, Spanish and Italian neighbours
Good luck differentiating between a 2kW space heater and a 2kW 3-pin leadCome back when electricity for recharging is taxed as per petrol and diesel - which were taxed long before the need to reduce CO2 emissions was identified.
How will you charge an Estate agent more for electricity when she runs her cable out to her Electric MINI?Come back when electricity for recharging is taxed as per petrol and diesel - which were taxed long before the need to reduce CO2 emissions was identified.

Ooh, where's the destination? This is a good time of year to visit southern Italy.Update: now planning a further journey from Switzerland to the South of Italy in a week's time.
Easily done of current tech....it wouldn't be done from the house end.....but the car end....then only leccy that went into the individual car gets taxed.......not your old two bar heater in the office!!Good luck differentiating between a 2kW space heater and a 2kW 3-pin lead
That nice Mr Starmer does, of course have bills to pay. An extra £10 billion to be found for Defence. And how many hundreds of more billions to nationalise the Railways, and pay for all those salary increases right across the Public SectorAt that point... fuel for ICE cars will be taxed even higher that it is now.
ICE cars will always be more expensive to run, the government will make sure of it.
Good luck to anyone who expects cheap ICE ownership experience in the years to come.

Maybe smarter but not stronger. A portable 500kg battery?People are always smarter than governments.
You'll be able to buy a portable battery that you can charge at home then take out to the car and charge the car from it (like a mobile phone power pack).
