United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Fuji White

I'm very pleased with my Pirelli Scorpion Zero Tyres.
They are quiet and seem to give my FL2 a nice feel, cornering or straight.

I wonder how long it will be before the govt decides to start taxing EVs on miles driven? I feel we are coming up to a crunch point where the govt will be pushing to make it very expensive to take diesels and then petrol vehicles into city centres then pushing up the fuel duty especially diesel, to incentivise people to buy EVs. I am not sure that the strategy of buying a new diesel in 2029 and keeping it forever is going to be practical for most people.
I read an article recently about the fact that building a car is a 7 year project and that we only have 9 years to go until the ICE ban starts to bite in 2030, so important decisions will need to be made by manufacturers in the next year or so. Interesting times !



I think we will first see increased cost of fuel after the loss of incentives to buy an ev £3.5k grant will go
Then I think we will see road pricing for all so petrol and diesel will be hammered twice

I also think that it will be very difficult and expensive to buy a diesel by 2029 sales are falling fast and the economies of scale from mass manufacturing will be diminishing and then the increasing cost and difficulty of meeting ever tightening emissions regulations will make them a very expensive prospect couple that with the fact EVs will be getting cheaper and better every year until then you woukd have to really be desperate to kick against the change to buy a diesel
