Their mission is to make electric vehicle adoption<\/strong> more accessible for all drivers across the country.<\/p>\n The \u00a3200 cashback<\/strong> offer ends on December 26, 2024<\/strong>.

The EDF offer<\/strong> reduces the initial cost<\/strong> of switching, but the new tax rules<\/strong><\/a>, effective in 2025<\/strong>, may increase costs for some vehicles.<\/p>\n The Upcoming Tax Changes on Electric Vehicles<\/h2>\n The UK<\/strong> will enact new car tax laws<\/strong> that will impact both new<\/strong> and used electric vehicles<\/strong> on April 1, 2025<\/strong>. Drivers<\/strong> should be aware of how the new system<\/strong> will operate because these changes will affect the total cost of ownership<\/strong> for EVs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \n Tax Rates for New Electric Vehicles<\/strong>\n \n First-year tax<\/strong>: EVs and low-emission vehicles will pay the lowest tax rate, similar to vehicles emitting 1 to 50g\/km of CO2.<\/li>\n Second-year tax<\/strong>: These vehicles will be taxed at the standard rate of \u00a3190 annually<\/strong> starting from the second year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n EVs over \u00a340,000<\/strong>\n \n Vehicles with a list price exceeding \u00a340,000<\/strong> will face the Expensive Car Supplement<\/strong> starting after the first year. This will result in higher tax costs for these vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EDF Energy\u2019s new offer<\/strong> for UK motorists<\/strong> presents a significant opportunity to reduce the upfront costs<\/strong> of switching to electric vehicles<\/strong>.
