THE Ministry of Construction has announced that, starting from 1 April 2026, electric ve­hicles (EVs) will be required to pay road and bridge tolls.

This measure follows the expiry of the exemption period for road usage fees granted to electric vehicles and their re­lated equipment, which ended on 31 March. Consequently, the Ministry of Construction, through its Department of Highways and Department of Bridges, will begin collecting usage fees from EVs travelling on major roads and bridges under its management.

Tolls will be charged ac­cording to designated vehicle categories and prescribed rates. — ASH/MKKS
