GB News: Drivers hit with 'harsh' new car tax charges as calls grow certain motorists to have 'discounted rates'
The AA has criticized the UK Government for implementing car tax hikes on electric vehicle (EV) owners, coinciding with a decrease in charging costs. The introduction of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for EVs aligns their tax rates with those of petrol and diesel vehicles, raising concerns about discouraging the adoption of used EVs.
While charging costs have become more competitive, the AA argues that a discounted tax rate for EVs could stimulate the second-hand market and encourage more drivers to switch to electric. The organization believes that all drivers should contribute to road maintenance but advocates for a fairer approach for EV owners.
