Rachel Reeves has bitten the bullet and looks set to introduce a nationwide pay-per-mile car tax scheme. After years of speculation over when or how road pricing could be introduced, Labour looks set to confirm a charge for electric car owners starting in 2028.
Under the proposals, EV drivers will be charged 3p per mile on top of other road taxes from 2028, after a public consultation. Early predictions are that the charge will slap an extra £250 per year onto motorists’ bills in a hefty blow. The decision has been made to counter massive declines in fuel duty revenue as more road users make the switch away from petrol and diesel models.
