EV Drivers Will Have to Pay London Congestion Charge

Motorists driving zero-emission vehicles in London’s congestion zones are to lose their exemption and will have to pay the standard charge from the end of next year. According to Transport for London (TfL), from Christmas next year, drivers of EV cars will have to pay a £15 daily charge to drive in London. Since 2019, they have been able to pay £10 for a year’s exemption. The charge was introduced on 2003 to make the streets of the capital less gridlocked and is enforced by automatic number-plate recognition cameras. The Congestion Charge zone operates 15 hours a day, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and bank holidays....
