April brings in a wave of price changes, and car tax is no exception.
Drivers who leave their electric cars being charged for too long will now face hefty new fines
The new"overstay charge" is intended to prevent drivers from blocking other drivers from accessing charging stations. In a recent case, a driver was fined £123 for leaving their vehicle charging overnight, when the charge was supposed to cost only £26. Tesla already includes an"idle fee" on its Supercharger network, charging drivers 50p per minute for overstaying once their car is charged. Some experts, however, are concerned that these changes could discourage people from using electric vehicles due to the fines, rising electricity costs, and the upfront cost of purchasing an EV.in recent weeks due to the fact that thousands of them are accessible throughout the nation through rental programs.
