The Radiator Arms

This week, James, Ant and Will dig into the newly announced 3p-per-mile tax for EVs and ask the big question: will this ever actually happen? They explore what the tax means for everyday EV drivers, how it compares to the real-world running costs of petrol and diesel, and whether the policy makes sense at a time when manufacturers are already struggling to meet EV quotas.They also discuss implementation problems, data-privacy concerns, MOT mileage tracking, and whether this could impact EV adoption more than the government expects. It’s a practical, apolitical look at the realities of driving electric in the UK — and the unintended consequences this decision might create.Check out The Radiator Arms in-person events:https://www.tickettailor.com/events/jayemmandfriends★ Featuring:• James: https://youtube.com/@JayEmmOnCars• Ant: https://youtube.com/@sportzntouring• Will: https://youtube.com/@WillThePlank🕗 The Radiator Arms podcast releases every Monday at 7AM on YouTube.

Are modern cars getting worse to use?
