The Mayor’s decision to slap the congestion charge on electric vans and cars for the first time will do as much harm to London’s air quality as cutting down one in five of its trees, it was claimed today.
The long standing exemption from the charge for fully electric vehicles (EVs) is due to come to an end in the New Year with cars having to pay £13.50 and vans £9. These are discounted from the proposed new full rate of £18.
