        Exemption congestion zone

        All purely electric cars, vans and other vehicles are currently Congestion Charge-exempt, because they have zero tailpipe emissions. This means if you purchase a fully electric vehicle, you won’t have to pay the London Congestion Charge. Examples of fully electric cars are the Renault ZOE, Nissan Leaf and Volkswagen e-Golf.

        Plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) are also Congestion Charge exempt, as none currently on sale exceeds the 75g/km limit. So the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Kia Niro PHEV are all exempt from the charge as well.

In fact, the study found that employment disruptions would be lower than the 35-62% losses predicted by previous studies across the German automotive industry by 2030. The study considered employment losses from the switch to electromobility both in terms of vehicle production and component production, with greater impacts predicted in the component segment as the electric powertrain requires less manpower compared to conventional powertrains. Some of the employment losses could be offset by new areas of knowledge, such as the development and production of battery cells. On digitalisation…
