Ofgen say as soon as you are contacted by the SOLR you can look for your own provider. Tomato bill was paid this morning, application to Eon Next Drive made soon after. :LOL:

Some manufacturers are dropping their prices to compete with those who get the government subsidy, it may be that.

Die fender.

I've just had a text from British Gas . . . they're taking over from Tomato for me.

Why are only EV drivers being considered for pay per mile? Surely they should scrap fuel duty and every vehicle should pay per mile.

Hmm. Someone's been listening to the oil industry FUD. One battery once made will last for maybe 30 years in a vehicle, and then another 30 years in battery storage. One tank of petrol lasts less than one of your long road trips and once burned, cannot be reused. Crude oil has to be extracted...

I think everyone else who owns an EV thinks you are wrong.

Yep, some stupid people fall for that advertising nonsense, not realising that perpetual motion machines defy the laws of thermodynamics.

Surely a self charging car will have no running costs. :LOL:

Your mileage is recorded at each MOT test. That would be the easiest way to do it. And yes, I know that the first 3 years on a new car doesn't have an MOT, but they'll get you at the first MOT and then if you've been under-reporting thet'll hit you with a big bill.
