Our response to the Mayor’s decision on the Cleaner Vehicle Discount

We are disappointed by TfL’s decision to roll back the Cleaner Vehicle Discount (CVD). The moves risks London’s global leadership in electrification at a critical time and introduces thousands of pounds in new costs for people and businesses doing the right thing.

There is clear consensus across businesses, environmental groups and unions that the CVD has been one of London’s most effective clear air tools, cutting pollution, and supporting both professional drivers and fleets that keep our city moving.

London has led the way on electrification. It will be critical to prioritise long-term policies that deliver equal access to EVs and affordable charging across the capital, and consistent incentives, to maintain progress and confidence. These signals are now even more important as EV drivers face a double hit given the new EV tax expected in the budget.

Electric London looks forward to working constructively with City Hall and TfL to realise our shared ambitions for a cleaner, fairer and greener capital for all Londoners.
