  4. Proposed pay‑per‑mile tax for electric vehicles raises concerns

    The Chancellor is expected to outline plans in the upcoming Budget to introduce a mileage‑based tax for electric vehicles (EVs) from 2028. The measure is being considered as fuel duty revenues decline with more drivers moving away from petrol and diesel.

    If introduced, EV drivers would pay around 3p per mile, with hybrid vehicles charged at a slightly lower rate. The proposal has not yet been confirmed and would require parliamentary approval before implementation.

    Rising costs for electric drivers

    Industry figures point out that electric drivers have already faced a series of cost increases in recent years, including higher insurance premiums, the introduction of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), and rising home charging costs.

    Motoring analyst John Wilmot, founder of LeaseLoco, said the proposed tax risks undermining one of the main incentives for switching to electric.

    “One of the massive benefits to driving an electric vehicle was that it was far cheaper to run than a petrol or diesel car, but a pay‑per‑mile tax risks eliminating that advantage,” he said.

    “It’s almost sending mixed messages. We want people to switch to electric cars but they’re dealing with limited charging infrastructure and other rising costs which can leave them questioning whether it’s even worth it.”

    Net zero implications

    Wilmot warned that the proposal could slow progress towards the government’s net zero goals.

    “Lower running costs were a huge part of the incentive for going electric. Taking that away risks stalling the momentum we have built by giving people confidence in electric vehicles,” he said.

    He added that many drivers are already expressing interest in electric options, but uncertainty over future costs may cause hesitation.

    “Drivers want clarity before committing to making the switch to electric and it’s hard to have confidence when the rules and the costs keep changing.”

    What it means locally

    South Wales has seen a steady rise in EV ownership, supported by council‑backed charging points and private investment. Campaigners say any policy that reduces incentives could affect uptake in the region, where charging infrastructure is still developing.

  5. Swansea car retailer celebrating after two models recognised with award

    Judges said the compact mild hybrid SUV was a fantastic used buy, incorporating a timeless design both inside and out. With a range of reliable powertrains across petrol, diesel, pure-electric and plug-in hybrid, they commented that it provided something for everyone.

    The triumph follows FRF Volvo Swansea’s success at the Caravan and Motorhome Club’s annual awards, where the car retailer’s Plug-in Hybrid, the XC90 was named Hybrid Towcar of the Year.

    The Towcar of the Year Awards are the UK’s longest-established towing awards. This year, vehicles were put through their paces to assess not only their towing ability but also their practicality, comfort and quality.  

    With its effortless performance and ease of driving, judges for the Caravan and Motorhome Club praised the XC90 for being an “Absolutely superb towcar. It is as compromise-free as you could wish for. It handles superbly with the caravan, whilst remaining comfortable and sure-footed. The interior is absolutely beautiful and feels like somewhere that you could enjoy a long-distance cruise to the Continent with a caravan in tow.”

    The car retailer’s Plug-in Hybrid, the XC90 was named Hybrid Towcar of the Year at the Caravan and Motorhome Club’s annual awards.

    John Radcliffe at FRF Volvo Swansea on Valley Way, said:

    “We’re thrilled to receive such praise for the Volvo XC40 and XC90, from not one but two prestigious awards bodies.

    “To triumph after a rigorous judging process is demonstrative of the quality and attention Volvo devotes to its models, making cars practical to own and use, all whilst staying desirable, luxurious, safe and sustainable.

    “For drivers in Swansea who are looking to learn more about the XC40 and XC90, FRF Volvo Swansea has models available to see first-hand and a friendly team of experts to answer any questions.”

  7. Last weekend, we’ve had a MG ZS Hybrid for a day thanks to #Zipcar. Lots of technical gimmicks, which I loved. However, the headrest on the seats was awful and how can you have all this hi-tech stuff in a car but then rely on wired CarPlay?

    Still, it got us to where we wanted to and I as the driver had a lot of fun. And needing it only for a day, it was way cheaper from Zipcar compared to traditional rental agencies.

  8. So I'm looking to replace my car with a #HybridCar. Can anyone recommend a well-researched guide on choosing between the contestants? For instance, which is a better overall deal: a three-year-old Prius, or a new Sonata Hybrid?

    Notes:
    1)I can't buy an electric car, because I cannot charge at home, so don't suggest that instead.
    2)No, I don't want your on-Mastodon suggestions. I want a well-researched resource.
