  • £7 to do less than five and a half miles, £12.30 in a van, I am not a regular user of the M6 Toll so I cannot claim to be an experienced user.

    I one of the people who pulls off the M5 at junction 2 to fill up at Asda rather than the services, I could easily add a thousand quid or more to my expenses by paying toll and other charges as well as filling up at the wrong garages such as those at motorway service areas.

    Charging an EV anywhere other than at home or work usually involves paying for the time you are connected to the charging equipment, rather than the actual electricity used and there are other penalties which aren’t totally obvious, adding road charges etc and EVs start to lose their appeal.
