Скачать или смотреть Electric Car Tax 2028: What Northern Ireland Drivers Need To Know (3p Per Mile Explained)

Electric car and plug-in hybrid drivers in Northern Ireland now face a brand new pay-per-mile tax from April 2028.
In this video, we break down exactly how the 3p per mile road charge for EVs and 1.5p per mile for plug-in hybrids is expected to work, using clear examples like an 8,500‑mile year costing around £255 for an electric car – roughly half the rate petrol and diesel drivers currently pay in fuel tax.
You’ll learn:
What the new Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) is and why it’s being introduced.
How mileage will be checked at MOTs or registration anniversaries using your car’s odometer.
Why EV drivers’ groups in Northern Ireland say the tax is “really premature” and creates “more questions than answers”.
Key concerns about miles driven abroad (for example, cross‑border trips into the Republic of Ireland or driving across Europe) and whether they could be taxed in the UK.
What the government has said so far about odometer tampering or “clocking” and how they might try to prevent it.
How this tax could affect the cost of owning an EV compared with petrol and diesel, and what it could mean for the switch to electric vehicles.
