Urhulumente wase-UK ubhengeze ukwandiswa kweSibonelelo seTeksi sokuPlag-in kude kube ngu-Epreli ka-2025, okuphawula isiganeko esibalulekileyo ekuzibopheleleni kwesizwe kuthutho oluzinzileyo. Yasungulwa ngowama-2017, iSibonelelo seeTeksi sokuPlag-in sidlale indima ebaluleke kakhulu ekukhuthazeni ukwamkelwa kweeteksi zero-emission cabs kwilizwe lonke.
Ukusukela oko yasungulwayo, iSibonelelo seTeksi sokuPlag-in sabe ngaphezu kwe-£50 yezigidi ukuxhasa ukuthengwa kweeteksi ezingaphezu kwama-9,000 zero-emission taxi, ngaphezulu kwe-54% yeeteksi ezinelayisensi eLondon ngoku zisebenza ngombane, ebonisa impumelelo ebanzi yale nkqubo.
I-Plug-in Taxi Grant (i-PiTG) isebenza njengeskimu senkuthazo esijolise ekomelezeni ukuthathwa kweeteksi ze-Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV) ezakhiwe ngenjongo, ngokwenjenjalo kuncitshiswa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nokuqhubela phambili uzinzo lokusingqongileyo.
Iimpawu eziphambili zeskimu sePiTG ziquka:
Inkuthazo yezeMali: I-PiTG inikezela ngezaphulelo ukuya kuthi ga kwi-£ 7,500 okanye i-£ 3,000 kwiiteksi ezifanelekileyo, kuxhomekeke kwizinto ezifana noluhlu lwezithuthi, ukukhutshwa, kunye noyilo. Okuqaphelekayo, isikimu sibeka phambili izithuthi ezifikeleleka ngesitulo esinamavili.
Iikhrayitheriya zokuhlela: Iiteksi ezikufanelekeleyo ukufumana isibonelelo zihlelwe ngokwamaqela amabini ngokusekwe kukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye noluhlu lwe-zero-emission:
- Udidi lwe-1 PiTG (ukuya kwi-£ 7,500): Izithuthi ezinoluhlu lwe-zero-emission yeekhilomitha ezingama-70 okanye ngaphezulu kunye nokukhutshwa okungaphantsi kwe-50gCO2 / km.
- Udidi lwe-2 PiTG (ukuya kwi-£ 3,000): Izithuthi ezinoluhlu lwe-zero-emission lwe-10 ukuya kwi-69 yeekhilomitha kunye nokukhutshwa okungaphantsi kwe-50gCO2 / km.
Ukufikeleleka: Bonke abaqhubi beeteksi kunye namashishini atyala imali kwiiteksi ezenzelwe injongo entsha banokuxhamla kwisibonelelo ukuba izithuthi zabo ziyahlangabezana nemigaqo yokufaneleka.
Ngaphandle kwempumelelo ye-PiTG ekukhuthazeni ukwamkelwa kweeteksi zombane, imingeni isaqhubeka, ngakumbi malunga nokufikeleleka kweziseko ezingundoqo zokutshaja ii-EV, ngakumbi kumbindi wedolophu.
Ukususela ngoJanuwari 2024, bekukho iindawo zokutshaja ze-55,301 ze-EV e-UK, zisasazeka kwiindawo ze-31,445, ukunyuka okubalulekileyo kwe-46% ukususela ngoJanuwari 2023, ngokwedatha ye-Zapmap. Nangona kunjalo, la manani awabandakanyi inani elikhulu leendawo zokutshaja ezifakwe kumakhaya okanye kwiindawo zokusebenza, eziqikelelwa ukuba zingaphezu kweeyunithi ezingama-700,000.
Ngokuphathelele kwityala le-VAT, ukubizwa kwesithuthi sombane ngendawo yokutshaja kawonke-wonke kuxhomekeke kumlinganiselo omiselweyo weRhafu-ntengo, kungekho kukhululwa okanye zihlangulo ezikhoyo ngoku.
Urhulumente uyavuma ukuba iindleko eziphezulu zamandla kunye nokufikelela okulinganiselweyo kwiindawo zokuhlawuliswa ngaphandle kwesitalato zinegalelo kwimingeni eqhubekayo ejongene nabaqhubi be-EV.
Ukwandiswa kweSibonelelo seeteksi sokuPlag-in kugxininisa ukuzinikela kukarhulumente ekukhuthazeni izisombululo zezothutho ezizinzileyo ngelixa kushukuxwa iimfuno eziguquguqukayo zabaqhubi beeteksi kunye nokukhuthaza ukulondolozwa kwendalo.
