How Much Road Tax Do you Pay with Electric Vans?

As the world is changing and becoming more conscious of environmental implications, electric vans are starting to become more popular. Although electric vans have a range of different benefits including saving the planet, spending less on running costs and improving company image – how much road tax should you expect to pay if you opt for an electric van?

Take a look at our guide on how much road tax you pay for electric vans, as well as what vans to look out for in 2022!

How Much Road Tax Can I Expect to Pay?

Road tax is usually dependent on a number of different factors, including CO2 emissions, its power train and the intended use. Some good news for electric van road tax is that there is no road tax. This incentive has been added by the Government in the hope that more van users will opt for an electric vehicle. Other incentives, as well as no road tax, can include free parking in certain areas and exemption from London Congestion Charge too!

However, it is important to recognise that this does not apply to hybrid and plug-in hybrid vans. Instead, they still have to pay the annual £275 fee. This road tax exemption might not last forever though, as electric vans are likely to become more prevalent on our roads.

New Electric Vans to Look Out from Van Suppliers

As the choice of electric vans for sale becomes more extensive, it can become confusing on what vehicle would be best for you. Here are just a few vehicles we think you should keep a close eye on:

  • Vauxhall Vivaro Electric Van – Leading the pack when it comes to medium electric vehicles, this van could be considered an all-rounder with its driving range of 200 miles and payload that stretches over 1200kg. The vehicle is also available in two battery sizes – 50kWh and 75kWh.
  • Renault Kangoo Electric Van – This van is one of Europe’s best-selling small vans, and that’s no surprise when it comes down to its impressive payload between 625kg and 640kg, as well as its driving range of 143 miles.
  • Citroen Berlingo Electric Van – With a payload of 800kg and a driving range of 171 miles, this small van has all the capabilities to suit the needs of independent operators and tradesmen.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"I recently bought a new car from this company and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Tyler and Steve C were both brilliant to deal with – friendly, professional and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They took the time to answer all my questions and made everything straightforward and stress-free. The customer service was excellent and I never felt pressured at any point. Both Tyler and Steve C really went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted and that I was happy with the car. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would definitely buy from them again in the future. Thanks again for such a great experience!"
