EVA England launches eVED survey for drivers
EVA England has launched a new national survey into the government’s proposed pay-per-mile road tax for electric vehicles.
The government announced in its Autumn Budget it plans to introduce the eVED scheme in 2028 to replace declining fuel duty revenues and improve charging affordability and availability.
EVA England is now encouraging drivers to share their views on the proposal as well as and the state of the public charging network.
Vicky Edmonds, chief executive of EVA England, said: “With major decisions looming on road pricing and public charging, it is crucial that drivers are not left on the sidelines. This survey is about making sure policymakers hear directly from the people who will be most affected.
“We’re asking drivers to tell us honestly what’s working, what isn’t, and what would make these new systems fair and practical in real life.
“Building on our established programme of national research with drivers, we want to ensure that any upcoming reforms are grounded in real-world experience, from whether these reforms affect drivers’ appetite for going electric, to how mileage might be recorded and paid for, and whether public charging is fair, reliable and accessible.”
