Hybrid Drivers Face Double Tax: New Electric Levy Plan

Update: 2025-12-03
Share

Description

Rachel Reeves proposes a new electric levy, taxing hybrid car drivers twice: once for battery use and again through fuel duty. This punitive tax, set to start in 2028, could discourage buyers and slow the move to electric vehicles. The Office for Budget Responsibility estimates a hundred twenty thousand fewer cars sold by 2030, creating uncertainty for current and potential hybrid owners.
