answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2022 answer text <p>The government has committed £2.5 billion to offset the higher upfront costs of electric vehicles and funding to accelerate the rollout of the charging infrastructure. There are also tax benefits in place such as zero road tax, and company car tax rates, which can save drivers over £2,000 a year. Once fuel costs and tax incentives are factored in, we expect the total cost of ownership to reach parity during the 2020s, compared to petrol and diesel cars. An electric vehicle can be driven for a little as 1p per mile if consumers charge their cars off peak on an EV-tariff.</p><p> </p><p>We expect the increasing uptake of zero emission vehicles to lead to the development of the second-hand market, which will increase the accessibility of electric vehicles to those on lower incomes and ensure an equitable transition.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 14/03/2022 15:26:32 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
