flag Electric vehicle drivers in central London must now pay the congestion charge starting January 2, 2026, ending their previous exemption.

flag Starting January 2, 2026, electric vehicle drivers in central London must pay the congestion charge for the first time, as the full exemption for battery-powered EVs ended. flag The daily fee increased from £15 to £18, with electric cars receiving a 25% discount and vans, HGVs, and quadricycles a 50% discount. flag These discounts will decrease to 12.5% and 25% respectively by March 4, 2030. flag The charge applies weekdays from 7am to 6pm and weekends/holidays from noon to 6pm. flag Residents within the zone may still receive up to 90% off, but new residents after March 1, 2027, qualify only if they drive an EV. flag The changes aim to manage traffic and support cleaner transport.
