An electric car can save you money in all sorts of ways. There’s the fuel, road tax, servicing, and if you have one or a company lower benefit-in-kind….. the list goes on.
But if you regularly drive into London, there’s an even bigger bonus - exemption from the Congestion Charge. That’s £15 per day. It works between 7am and 6pm during the week and midday to 6pm at weekends, every day - except Christmas and New Year.
Some drivers wrongly assume that just because they have an electric car, the system will automatically recognise them. Sadly, that’s not the case. In fact, registering your car for Congestion Charge Exception is a quite complicated and time-consuming affair.
Thankfully Electrifying.com is here to steer you though the process. Join Nicki as she explains the procedure for registering your car with Transport for London. Do it now and you’ll be able to drive through London care-free!

What a scam, If the cameras can read your plate the soft wear could certainty determine what type of car it is.

Thanks for putting this out there I only recently found out I had to register my EV to drive in the congestion zone. Almost got caught out the other week when I drove in just a few minutes after the cut off, blissfully unaware of the rule. Very suspicious of the line that the congestion charge cameras can't automatically detect your car's eligibility while the Ulez ones can. Bit of a scam to catch out the unwary IMO. I also think the fine should be dropped on appeal if it's a first 'offence'.

Yeh, its a scam to catch the unwary, they obviously could recognise it by reg number..

Best thing in my opinion is stay well clear of London and bigger cities in England, even if on a push bike, as traffic is appalling. Now up in my neck of the woods on lesser wide roads, lesser containment of the public and more open fields, no restrictions apart from speed limits apply. So we drive free both with Ice and EV's .

Thank for this guide. Do consider doing a guide for other European Cities. I found it tricky for Belgium recently.

I've been into London twice since registering nine months ago, so I've saved a little bit. It was annoying having to sign up and wait, and my V5 had to be sent from the leasing company to me as a PDF first and then uploaded. Same faff again in December this year then.... Why didn't TFL just do the lookup from their cameras?!

Thanks for the info. But after learning this I’ve decided - to ‘ell with London … For that matter, to ‘ell with the UK … I’ll vacation somewhere else.

I spent my entire youth going to London on a regular basis. In fact, I learned to drive there and would often be able to park on the streets on a Sunday. Now it has become too expensive to even bother. The last time I went was to meet some work colleagues who were on a business trip. But, I really can't see the point anymore. Whilst congestion is a problem, the only reason it is is because the alternative to driving is much worse. Khan wants to take everyone's money but public transport has not become cheaper or more efficient. Especially for those who are outside.

What happens if you only go into London once every 12 months ?

@Joe-lb8qn Жыл бұрын

What happened to me, registered once when i had to drive in, then 12 months later thought "sod it" ignored the renewal and caught a train.

Why would I want to drive in London as a tourist? It totally makes sense to discourage people from doing that. - Except for disabled persons. (Are there official exceptions for them?)

@MarkEliasGrant 6 ай бұрын

The better question is - why do you NEED a car in Central London?

My advice to anybody living in London or who travel to London in a car. Get Khan out of Office... Remember, The Labour Party are endorsing the extension of Khan's ULEZ expansion charges. Vote Labour & vote for more Taxes & Restrictions to your freedom.
