Nissan Head Urges UK to Rethink EV Tax

Nissans European head, Massimiliano Messina, warns against a proposed pay-per-mile tax on electric vehicles, arguing it could hinder EV adoption and contradict the UKs environmental goals. He suggests reducing or eliminating the tax to boost electric vehicle sales and speed up the transition from gasoline cars.

Nissan, which has invested £450 million in its Sunderland plant for electric vehicle production, urges the government to reconsider its stance.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
