EV Cars - Road Tax April 2025

Giov

How does the above effect Company EV Cars that are obviously registered to the leasing company and not the driver, still have to pay ??

I guess contact the leasing company, but it sure looks like the EV VED and Luxury Car Tax of 2K will make EVs much less attractive for many.

Just when EVs needed more government/tax payers support they are joining a clunky car tax environment.

On the plus side, looks like 2nd hand EV prices will slip faster from April this year, so will probably make the initial cost of buying 2nd hand EVs more affordable.

Paying the same tax as every other car is unlikely to make a dent in the 20% market share that BEVs had last year.

The incentive was needed to help gain substantial market share. That's now been achieved, and BEVs are perfectly viable mainstream choices.

Normally, the lease includes the VED, so I assume your payment would remain the same and you don't need to worry about it.

What does your leasing company say?
