The United Kingdom will introduce a mileage tax for electric vehicles starting in April 2028. Owners of electric vehicles will pay 0.03 pounds per mile, and owners of plug-in hybrids will pay 0.015 pounds per mile, in addition to the standard road tax. A typical electric car driver is expected to pay approximately 240 pounds per year. The British model has been criticized primarily for its uneven impact. The flat rate will place a greater burden on drivers with high mileage, especially in rural areas. An analysis by The Electric Car Scheme estimates an additional annual cost of about 110 pounds in southwest England compared to 33 pounds in London, while the OBR expects electric vehicle sales to be 440,000 lower in five years. automotiveworld.com 🇬🇧
