Skoda Peaq price UK. Company car tax EV UK 2026. This week on Primetime EV Live — four stories and an EV Charging Bootcamp episode in 30 minutes.ZEV MANDATE — THE FOLLOW-UP. We flagged the government softening the 2030 EV sales target brewing last week. Now there's new detail: trade body BEAMA says cutting the target from 80% to 50% could cost the UK economy £2.9bn in the best case, up to £16.7bn worst case. It's landing mid-way through a Labour leadership handover, with Andy Burnham expected to take over as PM around 18-19 July, and the SMMT has now called directly on the next PM to act.SKODA PEAQ REVEALED. Skoda's biggest electric car ever — a seven-seat SUV from £51,980, up to 390 miles WLTP range, 199kW rapid charging, and an 86kWh battery. Order books open September 2026.EV CHARGING BOOTCAMP — EPISODE 3: kW VS kWh EXPLAINED. The difference between kilowatts (rate) and kilowatt-hours (amount) trips up more EV owners than almost anything else. What it means for your home charger, your rapid-charging times, and your electricity bill.COMPANY CAR TAX ON EVs IS RISING. Benefit-in-Kind tax on electric company cars climbs from 4% this year to 9% by 2029/30 — still far below petrol's 30%+ rate, but the direction matters for anyone timing a fleet order.USED EV PRICES HAVE NEARLY HALVED. The average used electric car in the UK now costs around £20,000, down from roughly £39,000 three years ago. Used EV sales jumped 45.7% in 2025, and they're the fastest-selling fuel type on the market.──────────────────────────────⚡ FREE: Join the Primetime EV ClubCheapest public charging rates every month · best lease deals · weekly EV digest👉 primetimeev.com/club 📧 club@primetimeev.com──────────────────────────────</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
