The proposed introduction of Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) could have implications for leasing and rental businesses that extend well beyond the cost of the tax itself.
In the latest BVRLA blog, Richard Evans, Sales Director at associate member Jaama, looks at the commercial and operational questions created by a tax based on real-world vehicle usage.
With drivers expected to estimate their mileage in advance before an annual reconciliation, Richard considers where liability could sit when actual mileage differs from that estimate. For leasing providers in particular, that raises questions around existing contract terms, how future agreements are structured and how unexpected costs are managed.
The blog also explores the customer experience, including how mileage estimates and reconciliations are communicated, alongside the role that telematics and other approaches to mileage data could play.
With eVED proposed for introduction in 2028, Richard sets out four areas businesses can start considering now to prepare their contracts, customer communications and operational processes.
