href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-news\/motoring-issues\/uk-budget-2025\/\">2025 Autumn Budget<\/a>, the government has formally confirmed the terms of its new Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) scheme. These new pay-per-mile regulations will be brought into force from 1 April 2028 and will apply to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/electric\/best-electric-cars-and-evs\/\">electric cars<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/hybrid\/best-plug-in-hybrids\/\">plug-in hybrid cars<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/electric\/are-hydrogen-fuel-cell-cars-the-future\/\">hydrogen fuel cell cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From launch, EVs and hydrogen fuel cell cars will pay <strong>three pence per mile<\/strong>, while PHEVs will pay a lower rate of <strong>1.5 pence per mile <\/strong>as those drivers also pay fuel duty. However, the eVED rate will increase every year in line with the consumer price index.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Drivers will be able to prepay their eVED for the year by providing the government with an estimation of their annual mileage, like you do when you\u2019re shopping for insurance. This will be checked against your annual MOT records and, if you covered more miles than you said in your guess, you\u2019ll be handed a bill at the end of the year to make up the difference.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/480x0\/069-ev-charging-pay-per-mile-scheme-1.jpg?scale=down\" alt=\"Pay-per-mile eVED scheme: EV charging\" class=\"wp-image-267988\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/480x0\/069-ev-charging-pay-per-mile-scheme-1.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/720x0\/069-ev-charging-pay-per-mile-scheme-1.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/1040x0\/069-ev-charging-pay-per-mile-scheme-1.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<p>However, if you underestimated the number of miles you\u2019d cover in a year, the extra credit you have on your account will be carried forwards into the new year.<\/p>\n<p>In a bid to make the process easier, the government is considering plumbing its new eVED scheme into in your car\u2019s telematics system. The terms of this system haven\u2019t yet been finalised but, in principle, it\u2019d allow the scheme to track your mileage and issue you an automatic bill each month for the distance you\u2019ve driven.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Crucially, legislators said the use of this technology won\u2019t be mandatory as \u2018protecting motorists\u2019 privacy as part of eVED is a priority for the government.\u2019 It also said: \u2018Any potential technology-based solutions considered in future will <strong>only ever<\/strong> be optional.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Drivers will be able to make payments for the new eVED scheme annually, bi-annually or monthly. Interestingly, if you sell the car, any mileage you\u2019ve already paid for will remain with the vehicle in much the same way VED operated before it was made digital in 2014.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/480x0\/071-pay-per-mile-scheme.jpg?scale=down\" alt=\"Pay-per-mile eVED scheme: paper tax disc\" class=\"wp-image-267986\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/480x0\/071-pay-per-mile-scheme.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/720x0\/071-pay-per-mile-scheme.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/1040x0\/071-pay-per-mile-scheme.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That means, like the old tax disc system, the government expects eVED to become an additional selling point for electric cars and PHEVs on the second-hand market.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any holes in the scheme?<\/h2>\n<p>A couple. It\u2019s worth noting that eVED will apply to drivers who are either partially or wholly exempt from traditional VED, such as those who qualify for Motability. To be honest, it\u2019s a rather unhelpfully named scheme, as it\u2019s essentially acting as a replacement for fuel duty in electric cars.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the issue of securing mileage readings for brand new cars. Currently, cars that are less than three years old are required to have an annual MOT, which removes a convenient opportunity for the government to check their mileages.<\/p>\n<p>To solve this issue, the government is proposing an extra mileage check at an \u2018accredited provider\u2019 on the car\u2019s first and second birthdays. The terms of how this will work haven\u2019t yet been finalised, but the government currently expects it\u2019ll be handled by the dealership when you take the car for its annual service.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/480x0\/073-pay-per-mile-scheme-mechanic-servicing-car.jpg?scale=down\" alt=\"Pay-per-mile eVED scheme: mechanic servicing a car\" class=\"wp-image-267989\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/480x0\/073-pay-per-mile-scheme-mechanic-servicing-car.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/720x0\/073-pay-per-mile-scheme-mechanic-servicing-car.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/267982\/1040x0\/073-pay-per-mile-scheme-mechanic-servicing-car.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The government has also ruled out the possibility of separating UK mileage from mileage covered abroad. It stands to reason that you shouldn\u2019t need to pay for the miles you haven\u2019t covered on UK roads in your EV, but legislators said: \u2018Since the proportion of UK registered cars driving abroad each year is a small proportion of total cars, it is proportionate to <strong>prioritise privacy and simplicity<\/strong> over a system of checks to deduct non-UK mileage.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t sound like a huge problem on the surface, until you consider Northern Ireland. Motorists living on the border between the two countries are <em>technically<\/em> driving abroad every time they pass into the Republic of Ireland. But because the government isn\u2019t going to introduce a way of signalling that, they could end up paying for a load of eVED miles that they\u2019re not liable for.<\/p>\n<p>Say you live right on the Northern Irish border, but your office is 30 miles into the Republic of Ireland. You\u2019ll need to pay for all those miles under the new scheme, even though you\u2019re not contributing to the wear and tear of roads within the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any financial benefits to owning an electric car now?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>They\u2019re certainly starting to dry up, but the government reckons electric car drivers will still be quids in, even with the new tax system. It says the electric vehicle rate is still half as much as the average petrol or diesel car driver pays per mile in fuel duty.
