AA President Edmund King has already pointed out one major issue with Rachel Reeves’ plans for a 3p pay-per-mile car tax fee. The Chancellor confirmed the new pay-per-mile charge for electric car owners, effective from 2028, as part of her Autumn Budget statement.

Under the new scheme, EVs will be charged 3p per mile to use the roads, with Plug-In Hybrid owners slapped with a 1.5p per mile rate. Fees are set to be calculated by checking the mileage on a car’s odometer counter as part of a motorist's annual MOT test. However, AA boss Edmund King has warned the Chancellor may have a huge issue on her hands with motorists likely to falsely believe they are being tracked.
