    All UK residents pay road tax, whether they own a vehicle or not. You’re referring to emissions tax, which only the vehicle owner pays.

      If we’re being pedantic, there is no road tax or emissions tax, there’s only “vehicle tax”, which is £0 for EV owners. But everyone calls it road tax still.

        It’s called ‘vehicle exercise duty’. At least get it right if you’re going to be pedantic. It is directly related to emissions, therefore emissions tax is more appropriate for a nickname.
