The United Kingdom is set to introduce a new pay-per-mile tax on electric vehicles (EVs) starting in 2028. This decision comes in response to declining fuel duty revenue as more individuals transition from petrol to electric cars.

It is estimated that by 2028, up to six million people in the UK will be driving electric vehicles. The implementation of this tax aims to address the revenue shortfall resulting from the shift away from traditional fuel sources.

This move reflects a broader trend in the UK as the government seeks to adapt to changing transportation dynamics and maintain funding for road infrastructure and services.
