Lease Electric has met with local MP Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown to raise concerns about the Government’s proposal to introduce a pence-per-mile tax for EVs (eVED). During the meeting, Lease Electric presented an alternative approach designed to support revenue generation while avoiding unnecessary administrative burden and reducing the risk of loopholes or misuse. Lease Electric believes that incorporating efficiency-based measures through the existing VED system could provide a more pragmatic and equitable route to taxation, while supporting the Government’s broader aims of decarbonisation and cleaner transport. Following the meeting with Sir Clifton-Brown, Lease Electric has now written an open letter setting out its concerns and formally proposing the alternative model. The company is constantly expanding at it was great to spend time with them, given their expertise in the electric vehicle market.
