I recently went into central London in my MG5. Before going (unusually for me) I decided to check the rules on the congestion zone. I updated my account to reflect my new MG5 and was really surprised to find that I was required to pay the congestion charge for the car. Seems as if you have to register for a discount for EVs by submitting a copy of your V5 to an admin address on the London Congestion Charge site. It took about 2 days to have my application confirmed. So I am all sorted now but I wonder why the congestion database did not recognise did not recognise the 5 as an EV. Had a similar problem when I tried to insure the car earlier this year I was told the car didn't exist. Does MG not inform all the relevant authorities?
