Summary

Behnam and colleagues discuss the setup of a thick-gauge charging cable for a hybrid car, noting that it reduces charging time from four to five hours to about an hour. The conversation shifts to the upcoming road bill system that replaces road tax, calculating costs for electric versus hybrid vehicles based on miles driven.

Facts

  • A thick-gauge cable from a 13-amp plug reduces charging time from 4-5 hours to about an hour
  • New road billing replaces road tax and is based on miles driven
  • Hybrid cars pay lower road bill; example £20/year for 1,000 miles
  • Full electric cars pay 25p per mile or similar
