HMRC fixes the new Advisory Electricity Rates

🚨 Breaking News for UK Fleets 🚨

HMRC has just corrected its mistake on the new Advisory Electricity Rates (AER) for EV company cars.

👉 From 1 September:

  • Home charging stays at 8 ppm

  • Public charging rises to 14 ppm (not 12 ppm as first announced)

    Why it matters for fleet managers:

  • More accurate reimbursement for drivers using public chargers

  • Clearer separation between home vs public charging costs

  • Flexibility: employers can still pay more if costs are higher (e.g. ultra-fast charging)

    This correction is a win for transparency and a reminder of how fast policies are shifting.
