Electric Cars Face New Mileage Tax | Sheffield News

Electric car owners brace for a major shift: starting April 28, a new mileage-based charging system kicks in, with EVs paying 3 pence per mile and plug-in hybrids 1.5 pence. The government claims it’s about fairness as EV adoption surges, letting drivers estimate mileage upfront—or pay monthly. But critics argue it’s poorly timed and could deter the green transition. New tech will let cars auto-report mileage to DVLA, addressing fraud and accuracy concerns. Despite backlash, the rollout is on track—because as more EVs hit the road, the tax system must evolve.
