    I’ve got a diesel vehicle myself, I’d love a system that automatically pays RUCs. They exist, but are aimed at businesses with a fleet of vehicles.

    With electric vehicles, while they operate purely on electricity, taxing it would be a nightmare as you can “refuel” an EV anywhere.

      Oh my point wasn’t that we should tax EVs at the charger, but that RUC for EVs can coexist fine with petrol tax. It’s the grey areas of hybrids that really drive the need for petrol vehicles to be on the RUC system.
