target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Car industry&nbsp;body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has called the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/opinion\/electric-cars\/pay-mile-tax-misses-point-smart-ev-driving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposed pay-per-mile tax<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-news\/best-cars\/top-10-best-electric-cars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electric vehicles<\/a>&nbsp;&#8220;entirely the wrong measure at the wrong time&#8221;, warning it could deter motorists from switching to EVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As reported by national media this morning, the UK government is set to introduce a levy of 3p per mile driven in an electric vehicle, in a bid to fill a gap in fuel duty revenues caused by the transition away from petrol&nbsp;and diesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/politics\/2025\/11\/05\/reeves-to-hit-drivers-with-pay-per-mile-tax-in-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Telegraph<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c0mxgzpj1dvo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BBC<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/9f90dee4-8afc-4623-90e9-bc5252874849\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Financial Times<\/a>&nbsp;have reported that the measure is due to be included in this month\u2019s Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The charge&nbsp;will come&nbsp;in addition to the \u00a3195 vehicle excise duty that EV owners are required to pay annually and, according to The Telegraph, it is described by government insiders as \u201cVED-plus\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The measure is set to be introduced in 2028, pending a public consultation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It could raise \u00a31.8 billion a year by the early 2030s&nbsp;as the transition to electric power ramps up.&nbsp;For reference, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said in April that there were now 1.3 million EVs on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the reported proposals, an EV driver who covers 8000 miles in a year would be required to pay \u00a3435 in charges annually \u2013 \u00a3240 in per-mile fees and \u00a3195 in VED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions remain over how such a scheme would be enforced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reports suggest that EV drivers would be required to estimate and declare their annual mileage when they pay VED.&nbsp;If they exceed this mileage, they will be required to pay for the overage; if they travel fewer miles, they will get credit for the following year. But it remains unclear how mileages will be monitored or audited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3\" height=\"2\"

top<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A government spokesperson told the BBC that charging EV drivers per mile would be \u201cfairer\u201d, given drivers of combustion-engined cars have long paid fuel duty \u2013 effectively levying them for each mile they drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The car industry has warned that the move could discourage potential buyers of EVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SMMT said: &#8220;We recognise the need for a new approach to motoring taxes, but at such a pivotal moment in the UK\u2019s EV transition, this would be entirely the wrong measure at the wrong time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Introducing such a complex, costly regime that targets the very vehicles manufacturers are challenged to sell would be a strategic mistake \u2013 deterring consumers and further undermining industry\u2019s ability to meet ZEV mandate targets, with significant ramifications for perceptions of the UK as a place to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;A smarter, fair and future-ready taxation system requires a fundamental rethink \u2013 one that must be done in full partnership with the industry and other stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edmund King, president of the AA, told the BBC the government needs to \u201ctread&nbsp;carefully\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James Court, head of policy for leasing firm Octopus Electric Vehicles, said &#8220;now would be far too soon&#8221; to introduce such a levy. &#8220;Introducing a charge now would stifle the growth we\u2019ve seen over the past years&nbsp;and be self-defeating,&#8221; added Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry reacts: pay-per-mile tax on EVs &#8216;entirely the wrong measure&#8217; EV drivers could be charged 3p per mile as government
