UK Drivers Face New Charge as Government Sets Sights on Low Emissions. In a move aimed at reducing emissions and promoting the adoption of electric vehicles, the government has confirmed plans to introduce a per-mile levy for EV owners from 2028. The new tax, which is expected to generate significant revenue, will target drivers of plug-in cars and vans, with the cost likely to be calculated based on the distance traveled. As the UK strives to meet its net-zero targets, the introduction of this levy marks a significant shift in the country's approach to electric vehicle ownership, and has sparked concerns among some motorists who fear it will disproportionately affect those who rely on their vehicles for work or long-distance travel.
