EV government incentive limits

CliveS

LIMITS 

Government incentives that reduced road tax or give special grants should be limited to small 1200cc cars only not huge SUV's .

Another condition should be that it must be possible to run on electric only with engine off totally inside cities unlike most hybrids..

Cars with air conditioners are not acceptable for grants as they waste fuel and are a luxury item.

There are probably more reasons why grants should not be granted which need discussion.

    How do you measure the cubic capacity of an EV anyway?

    Maybe the are looking at a French idea?  In Paris they are proposing that cars that weight over 1.6 tonnes be classed as SUV.  SUV are then charged a higher price for parking per day.  I am assuming rightly or wrongly that the next thing will be a higher tax on SUVs in France or maybe just Paris.
