Autumn Statement 2022: electric vehicles will be taxed

The government plans to tax electric vehicles from April 2025 to equalise the road vehicle excise duty with petrol and diesel vehicles

From April 2025, electric cars, vans and motorcycles will have to pay road tax in the same way as petrol and diesel vehicles.

‘This will ensure that all road users begin to pay a fair tax contribution as the take up of electric vehicles continues to accelerate,’ the government said.
