Members are reminded that from April 2022, the EV Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) will no longer be open to homeowners who live in single-unit properties such as bungalows and detached, semi-detached or terraced housing. 

The DVLA has published its revised opening hours for the two-week period spanning Christmas and the New Year, with reduced hours and some closures around the bank holidays.

The BVRLA recently attended the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA)’s Fleet User Group and received updates in several areas.

The DVLA has launched an online service to apply and pay for a driver digital tachograph card, which is expected to be quicker and easier than a previous paper application.
