So, here is word for word (I have the video) is what Rachel Reeves said.....

 

"Because all cars contribute to the wear and tear on our roads, I will ensure that drivers are taxed according to how much they drive and not just by the type of car they use"

It is the highlight that concerns me.....

The EV 3p/1.5p per mile are ADDITIONAL to the annual road fund licence though. So be careful what you wish for...

Once the EV pay per mile charge is up and running, guess what then!  Yes, there'll be a pay per mile going on petrol and diesel cars.

Exactly, our total road tax will go up because we will have a car based value and a per mile value, taxation is only going in one direction.

I think this is the way it'll go too, we will not lose one, just gain another, double taxed on a road use of cars, all new cars have GPS as it is, we will just be mandated to have a black box fitted, classics may be exempt due to old electrical systems and generally limited mileages

This Government will tax breathing if possible.

Human CO2 production? That's pollution, right? Sounds fair for taxing

The pence per mile charge for EV’s in to offset the decline in fuel duty revenue so in theory the Government lying toerags should not start adding pence per mile to petrol/diesel vehicles

But they will, it will be a Green Levy. Locally they are charging more for parking based on emissions and weight so nothing surprises me

Once they have a process for the new pay-per-mile, they'll definitely use it to gouge everything.

I agree. Landfill tax started at a few quid per tonne - a green levy 'to encourage recycling'. It's now over £130 per tonne. Which is why organised crime is now involved in industrial scale fly tipping.

Yes that big one in Oxfordshire is just crazy, must have taken a while so how come no one noticed?

Cardiff council have just voted to bring in higher charges for residents parking of "large suv's"  but one of the definitions of large is length and at 12 feet it makes the westfield 11 a large vehicle , at the same time they have extended the residents parking to cover the whole of cardiff so if you travel to anywhere in cardiff you can only park in council car parks and they have just had massive price hikes in all car parks. Just so they get you all ways the council own the bus company and the labour run assembly own the trains.
