Are electric cars liable for the £40,000 premium road tax rate?
Will electric cars with a retail price in excess of £40,000 and registered before April 2025 have to pay the higher rate of road fund tax?

New electric cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 registered on or after 1 April 2025 will be liable for the premium car supplement. This supplement will be in addition to the standard rate of VED road tax and apply for the first five years the standard rate is paid (from the second year the car is taxed).
