The ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030 upped the ante by raising the challenge of a corresponding decline in two significant sources of Treasury revenue \u2013 fuel duty and vehicle excise duty \u2013 but Government has recently said that, from 1 April 2025, all electric car owners will be required to pay the standard rate of road tax VED, which is currently \u00a3165 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Advocates for road pricing suggest that a \u2019pay as you drive\u2019 system Is revenue neutral, with most motorists paying the same or less than they do currently. Several recent studies, from all sides of the transport sector, have suggested that the public is minded to accept some form of road pricing in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government\u2019s Transport Decarbonisation Plan commits to delivering a \u2019zero emission fleet of cars, vans, motorcycles, and scooters\u2019. It also says that \u2019we will reform the way local transport infrastructure is funded to drive and deliver decarbonisation at a local level\u2019. Road pricing is not mentioned.
