How much is fuel duty now?
Currently, drivers of petrol and diesel cars pay 57.95p per litre in fuel duty, a significant portion of the price at the pump. This revenue, which the new EV tax aims to replace, helps fund public services. The government has frozen this rate since 2011, but it remains a substantial charge.
