In addition to new automobiles, electric vehicle owners will also be required to pay taxes for the first time starting in April. “The first-year tax will double compared.
To the current rate for vehicles running on diesel or gasoline emitting more than 76g/km of CO2,” said Richard Evans, spokesman for the automotive website webuyanycar.
Even electric cars (EVs) aren’t immune, however. Road tax exemptions for EVs will end on April 1, 2025, and anyone who purchase an EV after that date would pay a £10 first-year rate instead of £0.
