The Introduction Of The Ultra-Low Emission Zone

In some areas of London, petrol and diesel cars are being banned well ahead of the government’s proposed ban set to come into place by 2040. Some local councils are already consulting on a proposal to ban certain types of hybrid, diesel and petrol vehicles from some streets in a bid to reduce the amount of pollution in the main city. With restricted time periods set to be implemented in the city, and fines as punishment if the restrictions are not adhered to, the way we use our vehicles in the city is set to change as soon as late 2018. However, these aren’t the only regulations that are set to be introduced.

From 8 April 2019, an Ultra-Low Emission Zone will be in place in Central London in a bid to improve air quality, meaning vehicles in the area will need to meet certain requirements and emission standards, or pay a new daily charge.

The vehicles which are likely to be impacted by this change include:

• Cars
• Motorcycles
• Mopeds
• Motorised tricycles
• Quadricycles
• Small & large vans
• 4 x 4 light utility vehicles
• Motorised horseboxes
• Pickups
• Ambulances
• Motorcaravans
• Minibuses
• Lorries
• Buses
• Coaches
• Breakdown & recovery vehicles
• Snow ploughs
• Gritters
• Refuse collection vehicles
• Road sweepers
• Concrete mixers
• Fire engines
• Tippers
• Removal lorries

The ULEZ is set to replace the T-Charge and will be in operation 24/7 every day of the year. By 2021, the Zone will be expanded from Central London to the inner London area.

Benefits Of Electric Cars

Alongside offering environmental benefits, switching to an electric car can have a number of financial and performance benefits too. Not only are you exempt from road tax if you make the switch to an electric vehicle, but making the switch means you will also be exempt from the Ultra-Low Emission Zone charge and other congestion charges in the city. Further to this, electric cars can help you to save up to 50% in maintenance costs when compared to a standard diesel or petrol vehicle.

But how much will it cost to charge your electric vehicle? With average overnight electricity rates sitting at 15p per kWh, it can cost as little as 2p per mile to charge your vehicle. While your car can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours to charge, the environmental and financial benefits of making the switch are more than worth the wait.
