The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has published updated guidance on Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rates for electric, zero-emission, and low-emission vehicles, effective from 1 April 2026. New electric and zero-emission vehicles registered from April 2025 will pay £10 in the first year and £200 annually thereafter, while existing vehicles will pay £20–£200 depending on registration date. The £10 annual discount for hybrid and alternatively fuelled vehicles has been removed, and vehicles with a list price exceeding £50,000 registered from April 2025 are subject to an additional £390 annual rate.
