"The new energy prices increase the current cap by £35 to £1,755, meaning that millions of Brits will now have to pay even more for their gas and electricity. And, while the average EV driver will also now have to pay an extra two per cent to fully charge their vehicles at home, petrol prices have decreased by 21 per cent since 2022 for regular drivers."
"EV drivers may also no longer be exempt from paying a congestion charge from the start of next year. Instead, those driving an electric car would have to pay £13.50 every time they drive into central London, and tradespeople with larger vehicles would pay £9, as part of the new proposed congestion prices. Further data from ChooseMyCar.com found that over a third of Londoners (39 per cent) felt that it was unfair that EVs will be included in the new congestion charge."
Energy bills will rise next month as the energy price cap increases by £35 to £1,755, pushing up gas and electricity costs for millions. Average EV drivers will pay about two percent more to fully charge at home while petrol prices have fallen 21 percent since 2022. Over half of Brits no longer feel owning an EV reduces driving costs. Proposed London congestion charges would include electric cars at £13.50 per entry and larger trade vehicles at £9, a move deemed unfair by 39 percent of Londoners. Drivers can reduce costs by charging overnight, stopping at 80 percent, and charging and driving more efficiently.
