Description

Electric vehicle drivers in central London must now pay the Congestion Charge, a significant shift from the previous full exemption. The charge, which covers weekdays and weekends, has increased and offers discounts for electric vehicles. Local residents enjoy substantial discounts, but new movers after March 2027 must drive electric to qualify. Discounts will decrease from March 2030. Drivers should set up a free Auto Pay account to avoid fines and prepare for potential breakdowns on January 5th due to cars being idle since Christmas.
