The cameras should pick you up on the way in and out, not while parked up. So 2 payments.

profit marginOne thing I can’t get my head around is why it costs over 60p a unit at a road side charger, when the retail price of electricity is only 30p.
hope this works ...

I’m just about to fly to Vienna, in the morning, I’ve already bought a weeks metro ticket for about £15, I can get on any bus, tram, metro or urban train for the week, and some services go 24hrs, but not that many.I think there are deeper questions here that no-one seems to ask or get answered that I can see.
The point of ULEZ/clean air charges/congestion charges is, supposedly to encourage cleaner, greener, less polluting travel and 'save the planet' & save us from pollution induced illnesses. All very laudable and desirable aims so shouldn't we all support them?
The problem is that as a country (and indeed the whole of western society) we have been fed a very potent drug for the last 60 - 70 years and that drug has been the freedom to go where we want, when we want in our own personal box on wheels with little restraint beyond our ability to pay for the running of the vehicle. Rather like a heroin or cocaine addict, we have never given much thought to the wider impacts on society or the environment beyond paying our 'dealers'.
Now that we are seeing those wider impacts more clearly we have to be weaned off the drug somehow. The charges are one means to do that (Just Stop Oil et al would happily see us all go cold turkey.....) but the best way to wean us off has to be replacing the heroin of personal transport with the methadone of far better public transport - readily available in all locations, cheap to use and less constrained by time of day & duration of travel.
So; my question is, "are all these charges now being levied being hypothecated to be exclusively used to improve public transport in the relevant areas or are they just disappearing into the bigger fiscal pot for those authorities?" What happens when the income from such charges fades away but the costs of alternatives are rising - how will such services be funded then?

That's all I care about - quite literally
Too true.Its all very laudable for the UK to want to do its bit for greener planet but while the USA , China and India carry on regardless our little efforts amount to chucking a snowball into a furnace. Spending £40K or so on a Tesla isn't going to save a single polar bear whilst they do nothing.
