Join Our Mission ⚡Our Mission
EVECA is a professional association dedicated to advancing the legislative framework for electric vehicle conversions in the UK. We work tirelessly to secure official recognition and proper regulatory standards for EV conversion practices.
Critical Issues We're Addressing
EV conversion owners across the UK face significant regulatory challenges that prevent them from accessing the benefits their clean vehicles deserve. EVECA is working to resolve these urgent issues:
ULEZ Zone Access
Converted EVs are incorrectly charged in ULEZ zones because registration documents still show the original fuel type, despite being zero-emission vehicles.
DVLA Documentation
The DVLA fails to update fuel type on V5C documents after conversions of 2001+ cars, creating ongoing compliance and financial penalties for owners.
Unfair Charges
Owners of converted EVs face daily ULEZ charges, congestion charges, and higher insurance premiums despite driving zero-emission vehicles.
Our Advocacy Campaign
EVECA is fighting for immediate action to resolve these systemic issues and ensure converted EVs receive equal treatment:
DVLA Reform
Demanding streamlined processes for fuel type updates and clear timelines for conversion approvals and V5C amendments.
ULEZ Recognition
Working with Transport for London and local authorities to ensure converted EVs are automatically exempt from emission zone charges.
Legislative Change
Pushing for parliamentary action to mandate proper recognition of converted electric vehicles across all government systems.
