In a new BVRLA blog, Rachel Cockshaw, Fleet and Rental Business Development Manager at Dealer Auction examines how the proposed EV pence-per-mile model might sound like a policy detail, but its operational impact could be significant - particularly for small fleets and rental operators.
Rachel was inspired by eVED discussions at a recent BVRLA Residual Value and Remarketing Forum, and explores the fact that the implications could run far deeper. Behind the headline sits a series of practical questions: what happens when vehicles are sold mid-year? How would short-term rental businesses reconcile estimated versus actual mileage? Where does liability sit when vehicles move between keepers?
From disposal timing and margin protection to digital auctions, telematics and customer transparency, the piece explores how a seemingly simple tax shift could ripple through operational processes in ways many smaller operators may not yet have fully considered.
