Up until this year, EVs have enjoyed the benefits of not having to pay car tax (known as Vehicle Excise Duty or VED), unlike ICE and hybrid engine cars, but that’s about change.
In our latest article, the Johnsons team explain the full extent of the changes coming in and how they will impact you as an EV owner. Plus, we reveal how you can get ahead of the change!
What changes are coming to car tax?
From 1 April 2025, there are three significant changes coming into place in the VED system which will impact electric, zero- and low-emission vehicles, aligning them more closely with petrol and diesel vehicle tax rates.
What’s the financial impact for specific EV types?
Depending on your EV type and time of registration, your taxation will vary.
Avoid the tax increase!
EVs are becoming more popular among car owners, and now’s the time to buy! The first quarter of 2025 is the ideal time to switch to an EV or upgrade your current model before the new costs take effect. Purchase before April to secure the final opportunity for a £10 road tax, saving you over £180 upfront.
Head down to Johnsons today to explore the full range and make your EV purchase.

Unless we consider it to be inappropriate given your personal circumstances, for certain vehicles e.g. New, our approach is to introduce you to the lender who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account interest rates, residual valuations (where applicable) and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, or the vehicle is not one that we would normally place with them we will introduce you to other lenders on our panel. The lender we introduce you to and available rates will depend upon a number of factors including: the vehicle, your personal circumstances and the likelihood of a lender to accept an application based on information provided.
Lenders typically pay a commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions; some lenders may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you would like to know the amount of any remuneration we have received from the finance provider, please ask us.
