This whole story is deliberate #disinformation.
*Every EV owner* pays the same, 3p/mile.
And from the last paragraph:
EV drivers pay no fuel duty, saving £480/yr on average, so SW drivers save *the most*.🙄

EV pay-per-mile is *an incentive*.

Answer: Yes.He "lost it", whatever "it" was.
Recently he does seem to be losing his very tenuous connection to reality, forged by the Fox forces of #media.

His bubble has lost it too: #truth #integrity

The media's role?
IMHO, #enabling, #sanewashing, #disinformation - CB$
Donald Trump’s mental decline has gotten worse.

Can you spot AI-written news? We built JudgeGPT and RogueGPT to find out. Our paper at ACM WWW '26 maps how LLMs are industrializing disinformation and what we can do about it.

They've ordered social media companies to take down #deepfakes within 3 hours or lose legal protection. The deadline hits February 20th. It's an important moment for us all, and definitely worth a mention!
