Claim victory over the EV tax rise with Vindis
Big changes are coming to the upfront tax on all cars from April – but this means there’s an opportunity for drivers who are curious about electric vehicles (EVs) or want to upgrade to a new one. But you need to move quickly! Here’s what you need to know…
At the moment, EVs are exempt from paying car tax – known as Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). From 1 April 2025, new tax rules will come into effect, meaning EV drivers will no longer enjoy the zero-tax benefits they do today – there’ll be a first-year rate of £10 and then £195 per year from the first tax renewal after April 2025.
That’s why now’s the perfect time to buy – act now and save!
What’s changing?
The new VED charges coming into effect are as follows:
What does this mean for you?
These tax changes make now the best time to switch to an EV (or upgrade your current model) before the new costs come into effect. Buying before April locks in the last chance to benefit from £10 road tax, saving you over £185 in the short term.
Act now – beat the tax hike!
So if you’re EV-curious, why not come down to your local Vindis Group dealership to chat through your options? We have a fantastic selection of affordable, high-performance electric vehicles ready to go before the tax changes hit.

F Vindis & Sons (Bedford) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (Peterborough) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (Sawston) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (St Ives) Ltd and Vindis Group Ltd, is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F Vindis & Sons (Bedford) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (Peterborough) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (Sawston) Ltd, F Vindis & Sons (St Ives) Ltd and Vindis Group Ltd, to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only. We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
