Announced by Rachel Reeves, this major reform aims to reshape the country’s motoring tax structure starting April 2028. Under the new system, owners of electric vehicles (EVs) will pay 3p per mile, while drivers of plug-in hybrids will be charged 1.5p per mile. This means that drivers covering 10,000 miles annually in an EV will be required to pay £300 each year under the new charge.
