alt Hacker NewsIt sounds like ICE buyers are subsidizing EV buyers. The math starts to get ugly as EVs become a larger percentage of the mix. ICEs will be priced out of the market, but there won't be anyone left to subsidize the EVs. In short, it sounds like buying a car is about to get a lot more expensive in the UK.

Just introduce a charge per mile for EVs as the current government have already done
ICE cars are already hugely subsidised by ignoring the health issues they cause e.g. air pollution
What we really need in the UK is better mass transit systems in cities and their commuter zones to remove cars from the roads

Oh no will people who don't use EVs subsidize infrastructure that they don't use?!? This sounds so familiar ...

Given how long we have all been subsidizing ICE buyers, I think it is fair to spread the love around a little.
