EV Owners To Pay London Congestion Charge From January 2026
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.
I asked, Google AI, who will pay the Congestion Charge and received this answer.
Most drivers of petrol or diesel vehicles must pay the London Congestion Charge when driving within the central zone during charging hours. Exemptions apply to those with specific vehicles, such as motorcycles, emergency vehicles, and breakdown service vehicles, as well as individuals with disabilities who have a Blue Badge and are in the “disabled” tax class. Some groups, like residents who applied before August 2020, also receive a significant discount.
Note that the Congestion Charge will increase from £15 a day to £18 a day on January 2.
I can’t see the Labour Party winning the next London elections.

Its a congestion charge not an emission charge so seems fair enough to me especially when EVs are owned by the rich

These would cut congestion, so let them in at a lower rate.
