January 10, 2023Taxing electric vehicles will impact 2023 UK motoring trends, says operations expertDwindling government income from car sales may mean the introduction of taxes on electric vehicles (EV) in 2023, according to a leading operations expert."Therefore, there is a distinct possibility that they will impose taxes on electric cars and simultaneously slow down the rollout of the charging network infrastructure to collect taxes on non-electric cars.Both would dampen future electric car sales of either plug-in variety.However, the number of diesel cars sold may still be slightly more as the price of typical electric cars sold in the U.K. can be 1.7 times that of a diesel car.Professor Sodhi says he expects the amount of people investing in either electric or hybrid models will increase, as competition leads to lower prices, although a lack of charging points may continue to be a barrier to those who are considering investing in a plug-in vehicle."
