Toby Poston, director of external affairs at the British Vehicle Renting and Leasing Association, told the committee that 'as more people are adopting zero-emission vehicles they should be paying their way'. But Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation warned that setting the price too high could hit electric car sales Boris Johnson's government is currently mulling whether to bring in some sort of new tax that covers electric vehicles, with sales of new internal combustion engine-vehicles due to be banned from 2030.
