I just had a look at the TFL site, and it has these exemptions defined:
"You don't have to pay the Congestion Charge or register with us if the vehicle is recorded at the DVLA in one of these categories:
So doesn't that mean that they ARE doing the lookup in order to exempt those vehicles? if so then is there any reason they couldn't do that for EV determination too? and does that mean that £10 p.a. is anything other than a cash-grab (including fining all the EVs that fail to register)?
yeah, exactly that. The difference being that they have a plan to charge EVs the congestion charge in a few years, so it's beneficial for them to gradually capture all the registrations/addresses/username/password/credit card details on the lead up to it - then it's easy to convert those into autopay accounts
