A comparison scenario, not a future tax quote. Annual renewal on 1 April 2028; first registered 1 April 2027. Current VED rates are held constant, with announced mileage rates added. Options, registration date and future rate changes can alter the result. See assumptions.

All battery electric cars incur the same announced per-mile rate. A more efficient battery does not lower that mileage tax.
