MODERATORS
Who even benefits from this? Even Toyota is on the EV train.
The Tories themselves? They saw the petrolheads getting all worked up over the London ulez extension and decided to go for their votes. That's all I can think of.
Probably folks who can’t afford new cars.
Then why don't they buy a second hand EV?
Probably because by the time most folks sell their EV's, they need new batteries, which aren't cheap and add a lot to the cost of the vehicle. Depending on the EV, the cost of a replacement battery can vary between $5,000 and $20,000.
