UK government may introduce new tax on electric and hybrid cars

What happened: The UK government plans to require all new cars to be electric or hybrid by 2030 and is considering new charges for these vehicles.

Why it matters:

  • This could increase the cost of owning electric or hybrid cars for drivers.
  • It affects car buyers and the automotive industry as the market shifts towards greener vehicles.

MNN Take: The government aims to reduce emissions by promoting electric and hybrid cars but may seek new revenue through additional charges as petrol and diesel taxes decline.
