London car clubs face an alarming fall in the number of electric vehicles in their fleets if Transport for London (TfL) presses ahead with plans to levy the congestion charge on them next year, an industry leader has warned.

Richard Dilks, chief executive of shared transport trade body CoMoUK, which represents car clubs, said the planned axeing of the congestion charge exemption for EVs stripped away “the last remaining entry in the plus column” for green vehicles.
