What's this about?

So reading the article by social integrator https://www.recc.org.uk/images/upload/news_240_Consumer-Guidance-on-EV-Home-Chargepoints-14.pdf  I'm curious as to why an EV owner has to register the Home charge point with the DVLA? (it mentions that it must be done if you move home and take your charger with you?) Presumably it must get registered when originally installed? But why to the DVLA?

Taxes?

Once we've burnt all the dino juice everyone will have found £15-£100k down the back of the sofa for an electric car.

So they have to recoup the losses from the lack of demmand for dead stegasaurus, perhaps this is a way of verifying mileages with the help of

your smart meter?

Taxes erm?? How? 

Mileage? What if you charge your EV elsewhere?

Once electric vehicles get more common the fuel taxes will drop ................ so the income will have to be found elsewhere ................ unless there is a magic money tree!

I think that is what I was getting at...

You will pay at the pump, or plug or whatever but if you charge at home they wouldn't be able to charge a duty.

So if "oficcial" car charging points are going to be taxed, will users not just use the "granny charger" that charges at a lower rate from an ordinary 13A plug?  A proper charge point is only needed for fast charging,

Can't find any official information but a tesla may take up to 30hrs to fully charge from a 13a socket.

Maybe the answer is off grid solar, to an off grid battery system to charge your vehicles?

which surely is good for everybody ... except HMRC

Build your own...









It is still illegal to have solar power in some counties.
