Key takeaways for EV drivers
The key headlines from yesterday’s Autumn Budget were that the Government remains committed to the electric transition.
Consultation released on how to implement a new mileage-based tax
A consultation on how to implement a new mileage-based tax for drivers of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles from April 2028. The 3p per mile for EVs and 1.5p per mile for PHEVs is aimed at creating a ‘fairer system for all drivers’, given that ICE drivers pay fuel duty (which is frozen until September 2026) every time they go to the pump, but there’s no equivalent for EV drivers. The money raised will help the Government to double how much it spends on road maintenance and contributes to further investment in the rollout of electric vehicle charging points.
We’re working closely with industry body the BVRLA to help ensure the transition to the new tax is fair for drivers. You can send an automated letter to your local MP, asking them to support an equitable approach, recognising the benefits EVs deliver to society.
