They can earn 50% more in Australia.Doctors are not badly paid. Not at all. My partner was a doctor for forty years.
Starting salary for doctors in the UK is between £32,398 and £37,303 a year.
I'm all in favour of electric cars (at the right price), but your assertion that they don't consume fossil fuels is cloud cuckoo land and everyone here knows it.the amount of CO2 in the manufacturing of EVs and old cars are roughly about the same, ICE cars continue to burn fossil fuel throughout the hundreds of thousands of miles while EVs don't.
The carbon credits given to EV manufacturers account for the difference.
Last year, Germany's renewables contribute 59.7% to generation of electricity.Germany for example generates 76% of its electric power using fossil fuels,
Tax incidence - https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/incidence-corporate-taxation-and-its-implications-tax-progressivity£40 Bn in tax rises mostly focused on business will result in business increasing the prices of goods and services. Business NEVER pays tax. The customers of business pay tax.
This will cause inflation.
But Electric Vehicles running on power station fossil fuel electricity are much more efficient than Internal Combustion Engine vehicles - (because power stations are much more thermally efficienct than ICE vehicles)I'm all in favour of electric cars (at the right price), but your assertion that they don't consume fossil fuels is cloud cuckoo land and everyone here knows it.
Our grid last year was probably one of the cleanest in the world, but it still generated 27.2% of its power using fossil fuels the vast majority of that based on gas. So on current UK power generation mix, 27.2 of the miles driven used fossil fuels.
unlike VAT which is an indirect tax and passed on to customers, Business Tax or CT, is charged company's net profit. It is the most effective way to make the billionaires pay at least a minimum. The remainder is split between dividend and transfer to reserve. People like Richard Branson don't pay tax on dividend in the UK, his company pays CT though.£40 Bn in tax rises mostly focused on business will result in business increasing the prices of goods and services.

So according to The Des Moines Sunday Register and The Armidale Express, global warming doesn't exist?

You really MUST know that businesses set their prices to ensure a suitable level of dividends. If CT is raised, the prices rise to ensure that the owners and shareholders still retain their income.

Far too often, conservatives chancellors try very hard to keep CT low, giving away billions every year to their rich donors.
You have to look at well to wheel efficiency not tank to wheel@PeterBridges
I don't have time to re-examine all the figures, but it is my belief that a modern, small engined petrol car betters 40% thermal efficiency. Small, modern diesel cars can do even better. My new car always does better than 60mpg on an hour long drive and often comes out at 68mpg.
Combined cycle gas turbine generators can manage as high as 60% thermal efficiency, but they lose 10% in power transmission losses, so at the power socket we are talking at max 50% thermal and transmission efficiency.
Then you need to consider the losses involved in charging and the motor losses in driving. In charging, you will lose about ten percent and more loss in the motor.
So, even as a fan of electrification, I am obliged to recognise that if an EV is powered by fossil fuel generated electricity, it could have a lower efficiency than the best modern petrol engines.
Where the EV scores over the modern petrol car is that in the UK, a third of our electric power was generated by wind and solar last year. You might also argue for air quality in an urban environment, but the new petrol engines emit tiny particulate or nox emissions.
