Driving abroad in an ev after new tax is introduced

I take my petrol car to France via the Eurotunnel and drive about 2,500 miles a year there. The fuel tax I pay in France goes to the French government, and when I return to the UK I don’t have to pay that tax again to the UK government.
So when the 3p-per-mile charge is introduced for electric vehicles, how will that work? Will I pay it once to the French government, as I do now with fuel tax, or will I also have to pay it to the UK government?

It's currently only in a consultation phase. Issues like these need to be thrashed out in the next three years - I wouldn't worry too much about it at the moment.

Despite being a consultation, most of the information I've seen is that driving abroad is considered an edge-case. You'll therefore pay your £75 to the UK government when the time comes, along with the portion of UK car tax used up despite the car not being on British soil.
