The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if her Department will adopt a call for evidence process on changes to the taxation and cost of electric cars.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

At Budget 2025, the Government announced a number of changes to the taxation of electric vehicles (EVs). The eVED consultation provides further detail on how eVED will work and seeks views on its implementation. The consultation is available at GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-the-introduction-of-electric-vehicle-excise-duty-eved.
