About the UK eVED scheme
Pay‑per‑mile EV road tax — FAQ
Answers to common questions about the UK mileage charge for eligible electric and plug-in hybrid cars.
What is the eVED pay-per-mile tax?
A UK mileage-based Vehicle Excise Duty charge for battery-electric, hydrogen fuel-cell and plug-in hybrid cars. The published policy outcome says it will begin on 1 April 2028.
What rates does this calculator use?
We use only the published opening 2028-29 rates: 3p per mile for battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell cars, and 1.5p per mile for plug-in hybrids. Rates are due to be uprated from 2029-30 in line with CPI, so later years are not calculated before those rates are published.
How is my mileage determined?
The published policy says mileage will be captured through the existing VED system rather than by tracking where or when a vehicle is driven. Operational details may still develop before implementation.
Does this include fuel duty changes?
No. This tool only estimates the opening eVED mileage charge for the eligible electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle types. Traditional fuel duty applies to petrol and diesel and is separate.
Is this financial or tax advice?
No. This is an educational estimate based on public information and may change as policy evolves.
