London EV Drivers Face New Congestion Charge
Update: 2026-01-02
Description
Londons congestion charge now applies to electric vehicles, with a 25% discount for cars and 50% for vans. The standard charge for other vehicles increased by £3. Residents get up to 90% off, but new movers after 2027 must have electric vehicles. Critics argue this is a regressive move, adding costs for tradespeople and delivery firms. Transport for London fares rise by nearly 5% later this year, with Tube rides increasing by 10p to £2.90. Bus and tram fares remain frozen at £1.75. These changes aim to encourage greener travel options amid TfLs financial struggles and congestion delays.
