Yes and in the meantime you can bet there'll be hefty increases in VED as well as things like emissions zones to contend with and pay through the nose for. This will in time lead to the same end so whether your vehicle has been 'banned' of is just too expensive to run it amounts to the same thing.

I hope the predicted improvements in battery/charging technology occur in good time because the extent to which that happens will determine if, where and how we're all going to be able to keep our vehicles sufficiently charged to be usable. Sooner or later a national infrastructure programme will be required and it'll take years to deliver so I just hope we're not all left high and dry without any choice.
