Energy Price Guarantee expected to continue at same level in April
The BBC understands the Energy Price Guarantee is expected to continue at current levels for three months.

Probably nothing apart from the already announced cost of living and disability payment.So what help is coming for people on UC and disabled?

I have noticed that noises are arising over tyre particulate pollution. That will be the next target for taxation as EVs proliferate.
Agree in principle but I don't understand the weight aspect claiming EVs are similar weight to an ICE car. They are on average 20% heavier for an EV over the ICE equivalent.
For instance a golf was about 1600kg, an ID3 is 1900kg. That's around 16% ish.
My mg5 is lighter than a 320d estate.Agree in principle but I don't understand the weight aspect claiming EVs are similar weight to an ICE car. They are on average 20% heavier for an EV over the ICE equivalent.

EVs barely use the brakes either as the energy is pushed back into the battery so there is less.wear there as well.I guess it depends on the car. Model 3 performance is 1847kg and pretty much the same as a recent BMW M3 with xDrive.
I'd assume drivers of EVs generally brake gentler and that has to reduce tyre wear.
A BMW M3 is 1847kg as you say, an xdrive is not an electric though. The BMW i4 50 is 2290kg which is. Also a car braking via its brakes or via engine braking is the same as in you can still slow a car down via the brakes and get the same friction through the tire.I guess it depends on the car.

Your MG5 is a completely different car and from a different company. They are as comparable as my Ford Kuga to a London City bus. Obtuse much.My mg5 is lighter than a 320d estate.
Do i get a brucie bonus?
not a bad shout actually... at least it playing a part in the calculation.If you're talking weight being a factor they may as well just do the tax based on car weight, removes the ev or ice component then.

altho it gets complex is suppose. what is better a heavier car but with almost full regenerative breaking Vs a slightly lighter one without.?.
No as the mg5 is comparable to the golf for plan not the polo.A BMW M3 is 1847kg as you say, an xdrive is not an electric though. The BMW i4 50 is 2290kg which is. Also a car braking via its brakes or via engine braking is the same as in you can still slow a car down via the brakes and get the same friction through the tire.
If you slow at the same rare in both an EV and an ICE and they were the same weight they would have the same forces applied to them and thus the same wear.
The difference is at that same force being applied via any type of slowing force such as mashing the peddle or engine braking or an energy recovery system the weight pushing on tires is around 20% greater due to more mass in an EV.
Your MG5 is a completely different car and from a different company. They are as comparable as my Ford Kuga to a London City bus. Obtuse much.
The VW polo is 20% lighter than your MG5 do they get a double Brucie bonus.
I'm not suggesting anything about the article is wrong in terms of wear and tear (although I do believe tire wear is higher based on my neighbour whom works at ProTyre whom suggests they find EV wear tires faster from what they seen perosnally) but the point is the statement that ICE and EV cars weight similar is factually wrong.
manufacturers had bulked out some of the audi ev's to qualify for higher usa truck/suv ev credits.Side rant.
tick - remembered iX is (coincidentally - raison d'être?) sufficiently heavy to qualify for new Biden SUV ev tax credit > 6000lB gross, <80K
So people will generally brake gentler with an EV as they will actively try to use regeneration to get to a standstill. For example I don't use my brakes, from one week to the next.A BMW M3 is 1847kg as you say, an xdrive is not an electric though. The BMW i4 50 is 2290kg which is.

I compared the Tesla Model 3 to the BMW M3 as it was the closest match.
