Analysis of government data reveals that under the planned 3p-per-mile electric vehicle (EV) road pricing scheme, drivers in the South West and other rural areas could face significantly higher costs than their urban counterparts. The disparity arises from longer average journey distances in rural communities, particularly those located far from major towns and cities.
