Pay-Per-Mile Poll Tax – Reeves Just Killed Off the UK Motor Industry and EV Market

There will soon be rotting EV cars on sales forecourts. Shipments of EV cars will be left to rust in their containers, EV cars will be abandoned on roads and lay-bys, scrapyards will be full to the brim with EV cars. This is all thanks to Rachel Reeves, a vindictive evil harridan of the worst kind who knows nothing about economies, economic growth or business. The Pay-per-mile Poll Tax on wheels will ruin Britain’s motor industry which is highly invested in EV vehicles and kill off Uber and Bolt, as well as other vehicle based businesses.

According to the plan, starting in 2028, drivers would pay 3p per mile for electric vehicles and 1.5p per mile for plug-in hybrids. Sales of EVs were cut in half as a result of similar initiatives introduced in Iceland and New Zealand in 2024.

The OBR said it estimated that the new EV tax was likely to reduce the number of sales expected to be made by the end of 2030-31 by 440,000 units.

PAY ROAD TAX PLUS PAY PER MILE

In 2024, the automotive-related manufacturing sector had a turnover of £93 billion and a value added of £22 billion to the UK economy. Reckless Reeves is willing to shit on the entire industry for her vindictive lunatic anti-affluence crusade.

Reeves lied on her CV, she lied to voters in the Labour manifesto about raising tax, she lied to businesses, to farmers, and to the motor industry.

There is no comeback from this, the soviet march for more taxation on everything is a step so far into the Laffer Curve that it will seriously damage the UK’s already faltering economy.

If Reeves wants to shoot herself in the foot, let her do it. The motor industry in Britain is finished, and will leave a vast gaping hole in the economy, damaging it for generations.

Prepare for hyperinflation and destitution. Labour’s Britain is a bucket of shit.

No one wants an EV now, and no one will buy one. The EV cars have just lost 95% of their value.

UPDATE

THE ONS TODAY (13 NOVEMBER 2025) JUST RELEASED THE STATE OF THE CAR INDUSTRY IN THE UK. THE MOTOR INDUSTRY IS ALREADY ON ITS LAST LEGS THANKS TO LABOUR’S PUNITIVE POLICIES, AND TO ADD A PAY-PER-MILE TAX ON EV CARS WILL KILL IT OFF FOR CERTAIN.
