A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.
All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!
No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.
The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

I totally agree on the prices. I was just listening to PMQs and the PM avoided answering the question on public/private VAT on electricity. If we can have prices closer to 50p by reducing vat, it will cost about the same as petrol in an efficient 4.0kw vehicle. A big problem is people who drive really inefficient EVs like the ipace, also use them as company cars and so dont pay the price themselves. theres no pressure to lower prices from the business side, and the consumer side hasnt got its voice together in quite the same way sadly. Although I suppose asking the PM about it, must mean theres something going on
