Re the 3p per mile.
It is their excuse that it is about equalizing things with the tax on petrol and diesel which you pay at the pump without really noticing.
Now that would be a reasonable argument except that it dis-incentivizes EV purchases which on the other hand they are trying to encourage with subsidies of up to £3750 per vehicle.
No joined up thinking!! That just about sums up every decision over the last 18 months and the regular U turns by TTK et al!!
