Just over a week left for EV drivers to save £200 in tax loophole

With Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rules set to change this April, motoring experts are urging EV drivers to renew their car tax before 1st April to benefit from an additional year without charges.

Until now, electric car owners have been exempt from VED. However, under new legislation, they will have to pay an annual standard rate of £195 from April 2025 – the same as drivers of recent petrol and diesel vehicles.

But savvy drivers can still take advantage of the current VED exemption for fully electric cars by renewing their car tax early at no cost before 1 April.

Motorists can renew their car tax in any month, regardless of when it is due to expire. EV drivers who do so by 31 March won’t incur any extra charges, even if their current tax period still has months left.

By re-taxing their EV online before 1 April – using the car’s registration number and reference number from the V5C logbook – drivers can secure tax-free motoring until March 2026, saving them £195 under the new standard rate.

Under the new legislation, buyers of new EVs will pay £10 in first-year showroom VED. From the second year onwards, they will be charged the same standard VED rate as petrol and diesel cars.

John Wilmot, CEO and founder of car leasing deals site LeaseLoco.com said: “While the introduction of VED for electric cars was expected, many drivers may not realise they can in fact delay these charges for another year by renewing their tax before 1 April.

“Taking advantage of this short window to secure another year of tax-free driving is a no-brainer. It’s a simple step that could save you nearly £200, and with the deadline fast approaching, we’d encourage drivers to act now.

“Free road tax was a key incentive for EV adoption, helping offset the higher upfront costs of electric vehicles. Now, this policy shift risks slowing the transition to cleaner transport, particularly for those considering an EV as their next vehicle. While EVs are still cheaper to run than petrol cars, the removal of this benefit reduces the financial appeal, which could undermine the government’s net zero ambitions.

“However, it was only a matter of time before road tax was adjusted. The system was originally designed when EVs were a niche market, but with more electric cars on the road, the government will certainly be seeing a loss in tax revenue. 

“While it’s fair that all road users should contribute, there’s an argument that this change could have been introduced more gradually or offset by additional incentives, such as improved charging infrastructure or purchase grants, to keep EVs attractive to consumers.”

I had a letter from the DVLA today saying my car tax is now £351.75.

Almost a pound a day, before insurance, servicing, MOT etc & before moving an inch. But given the externalities of using it it is still underpriced.

Unfortunately I can’t discharge my personal/family responsibilities & work duties without the bloody thing, though I’d ditch it tomorrow if I could.

We really need to change the transport system & how society works

I’ve been saying this for a while, record mileage during the MOT and base car tax on that mileage.

A single car parking space in an apartment building can add $50K to the price of an apartment. With a home loan at 7% that's $333/month (total of $119K) over a 30 year loan just for your car park.

So... I parked at Eastland (E. Melbourne) ystdy in my Yaris between another Yaris and a small Nissan. When i came back both had been replaced by whoppa SUVs leaving barely 30-40cm either side of me. Just managed to get in one one side.

Im sick of SUVs.

Drove today on Eastern Fwy with multiple SUVs weaving across lanes and cutting in front of me.. just bc they can. Most were driven by middle class wo/men showing off their money. Hardly a tradie in sight.

Totally utterly sick of SUVs.

Let's not build bigger wider parking spaces. Let's not accommodate them. Let's charge the arse off SUV owners unless they can prove they're needed for business purposes.

It looks like #cartax reform is not proceeding in #virginia this year. I am conflicted on this tax as it appears are my friends in the legislature. I don’t think that taxing car owners is the best way to fund schools, but I do think that we should fund schools. I’d like to see the tax fall on vehicle weight instead of value, and I think the funds should be used for health, safety, and transportation improvements and schools should be funded by a statewide #landtax instead https://richmond.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/virginia-car-tax-youngkin-general-assembly/article_a484487e-c055-11ee-ba7d-3b23911ef22d.html
