In addition, generous tax incentives are in place, including zero road tax and favourable company car tax rates, which can save drivers over £2,000 a year.</p><p> </p><p>We want to ensure drivers who make the switch to an electric vehicle can charge easily. In March the Department for Transport published the UK electric vehicle charging infrastructure strategy. The strategy sets out the Department’s vision and commitments to make electric vehicle charging cheaper and more convenient than refuelling at a petrol station so that drivers can make the switch to an electric vehicle wherever they live.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 11/11/2022 13:43:08 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
