[Sir Tigger KC]

Roughly 2200KG......so a proper fat bastard.

.....and it's made from aluminium.

Over half of that will be the Duracell! 

Don't park it on your lawn for the photo.... It will sink!     On the other hand we could do with a laugh!

Looking on the bright side there is £0 road tax this year, but £195 after that.

Lucky for you that the new rules (40K+ snob tax) for EV's started for EV's registered after 1st April 2025, otherwise you'd be paying £195 + £425.  :y

Quote: A new Jaguar I-PACE, registered on or after April 1, 2025, will pay a first-year road tax of £10, with a standard rate of £195 for subsequent years if the on-the-road price is below £40,000. If the on-the-road price exceeds £40,000, the first-year tax will be £435 (including the expensive car supplement), and £425 will be added annually for five years after the second tax payment.

So, when Mrs Opti replaces it with a new one a few years down the line you'll be back to £195 + £425. They are taking the piss aren't they. 

They've been quite canny.

All remaining I-Pace were registered on 1st March (so they get a 25 plate) but a month before the government 'theft tax' of £425 for the next 5 years kicks in saving a total of £2125.

I'm into year 2 of paying the extra £425 on the BMW which I'm not happy about.

Also, how is it fair that an electric car will pay £195 from next year when an old duffer from Barnsley only pays £20 as his derv Grandland  belches black smoke into the atmosphere.

Can't be right, can it.

£195 for the grandland

£195 for the BMW.....plus £425  of government theft.

So an F-type costs the same to tax as a belching derv.

There is a God after all.

Mrs TheBoy is cross that her dirty diesel is going from £0 to £20.

I'm guessing Mrs The Boy's derv is from before 2017.

I think old man STMO has to pay £195 because his car is a later model.
