What about charging costs?
The new 3p-per-mile charge is separate from the cost of charging an electric car. This new tax is about replacing lost fuel duty revenue, not about the electricity itself. So, while you'll pay more to drive your EV from 2028, your charging costs will remain a separate expense.
