The Best Tax Exempt Cars

Cut road tax costs with an electric car from Wilsons Epsom

Car ownership can be expensive, so if you're looking to reduce your motoring costs, you might want to consider swapping your current car for an electric vehicle. 

Why are Electric Cars Exempt from Tax?

As standard, all cars fall into one of 13 tax bands which are lettered from A to M, depending on the amount of CO2 they emit. However, those with zero emissions - such as pure electric cars - are exempt from road tax rates (also known as Vehicle Excise Duty - VED).   

Investing in a battery electric vehicle (BEV) means you’ll pay absolutely nothing for road tax throughout the duration of ownership. This is applicable to pure electric vehicles only as the rules vary for Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), which are subject to road tax costs, depending on the CO2 emissions. Read our Car Tax Bands for 2021 and 2022 blog to find out more about vehicle tax bands. 

Considering some motorists are paying hundreds of pounds in road tax for their vehicle, switching to an electric car can prove dividends. Why not discover our selection of pure electric vehicles - we've picked out some of the best tax exempt cars that you'll find available here at Wilsons Epsom…
