Ministers should consider raising taxes on petrol and diesel cars to reduce the “premium” associated with electric vehicle (EV) purchases, an economic think tank said.
A report by the Resolution Foundation recommended that this action is taken if “concerns” persist over the number of EVs being bought.
The research also called for the Government to scrap “arbitrary” EV tax breaks, as the schemes’ “unfairness” means they generally favour drivers on higher incomes.
Talk's Ian Collins says: "Many people with electric cars will tell you it's anything but an easy ride."
