About time!

It has been a bit unfair up to now, but Pay Per Mile taxes are being proposed for EVs. There is mention that it will also apply to hybrids, but not sure how that will work with the latter? See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mxgzpj1dvo

That's been the case in New Zealand for some time and includes deisel cars. You buy a voucher in advance for so many miles. Mileage is checked at the equivalent of MOT time to see you've paid the correct amount.

I wonder if EVs can be clocked as easily as older cars? What if the car is a new EV and does not need a MOT for 3 years, but the owner sells before the 3 years? Still not sure how it will apply to hybrids?

The fraudsters would have a field day!

There is of course much speculation in the press & media about upcoming tax increases in this month's Budget, most of which won't happen.
