🚗💨 Heads up, drivers! The DVLA is bringing in new tax rates for electric, zero, and low emission vehicles starting 1st April 2026. Here’s the lowdown:
🔋 **Electric Cars:**
– Registered on/after 1st April 2025: First-year tax is £10, then a standard rate of £200 annually.
– Registered between 1st April 2017 – 31st March 2025: £200 standard rate.
– Registered between 1st March 2001 – 31st March 2017: Just £20 standard rate.
âš¡ **Hybrids & AFVs:**
– No more £10 discount. Taxes depend on registration date and CO2 emissions if before April 2017. After, it’ll be the £200 standard rate.
🚚 **Electric Vans & Motorcycles:**
– Most electric vans will follow the standard annual rate for light goods vehicles.
– Electric motorcycles will align with rates for the smallest engine size.
💸 **Pricey Electric Cars:**
– If your electric or zero-emission vehicle registered after 1st April 2025 has a list price over £50,000, the additional rate applies for five years starting year two.
