If you own any of these cars, you’ll be facing a new bill, and it’s not going to be pretty.
As if prices haven’t been an issue for the lives of those who live in England, there’s another invoice drivers are going to see which will increase their yearly bill of £2,745.
Now, that’s not a small amount, but it has everything to do with future plans to become a more eco-conscious nation.
Why are prices going up?
The UK government is rolling out new electric vehicle incentives, which means that any of these 59 cars which emit over 255b/km of CO2 will be getting the brunt of its attention.

It’ll include a new car tax bill and an increase in Vehicle Excise Duty (VED).
The list is pretty extensive, and covers everything from VW, Mercedes, Land Rover, to BMWs and Audi models.
Any vehicle emitting over 255g/km of CO2 will now have to pay £5,490 during their first year on the road from April 2025, which is a pretty steep incline from the former £2,745 charge.

The government is doubling first-year road tax rates across all higher CO2 bands to raise £400m for the Treasury next year as well as £1.7bn by the end of the decade, as per BirminghamLive.
According to the Budget documents from the Labour Party government: "To help drive the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) the government is strengthening incentives to purchase EVs by widening the differentials in Vehicle Excise Duty First Year Rates between EVs and hybrids or internal combustion engine cars.
"The government is also maintaining EV incentives in the Company Car Tax regime and extending 100% First Year Allowances for zero emission cars and EV chargepoints for a further year."
Labour stated it plans on ‘maintaining tax incentives to purchase electric cars through Vehicle Excise Duty First Year Rates and the Company Car Tax regimes, as well as by extending 100% First Year Allowances for electric cars and chargepoints for a further year.’
