<p>The Government is committed to keeping the transition to electric vehicles (EVs)
affordable for all consumers. Plug-in vehicle grants have been in place for over a
decade to support the transition to EVs, and remain in place for harder to transition
vehicles such as vans.</p><p> </p><p>The uptake of EVs continues to be supported through
generous tax incentives. The 2022 Autumn Statement extended favourable benefit in
kind tax rates for EVs out to April 2028, and EVs are either exempt or pay minimal
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) until 2025. From 2025, EVs will still have preferential
first year rates of VED in comparison to the most polluting vehicles.</p><p> </p><p>To
transform the availability of charging for drivers without off-street parking, the
Government introduced the £381 million Local EV Infrastructure Fund. This will deliver
tens of thousands of local chargepoints, ensuring the transition to EVs takes place
in every part of the country. The Government also continues to provide funding for
domestic and workplace chargepoints. This includes the recently announced grant for
eligible households without off-street parking, to install a cross-pavement charging
solution.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
