MileSplit: Your eVED Mileage Companion for EV Drivers

An automatic mileage tracker built for UK EV owners that splits UK vs. foreign miles from GPS, forecasts your annual eVED bill in real time, and warns when you are about to overshoot your self-declared mileage so you can act before overpaying.

Target user

UK EV owners who drive cross-border into Europe for holidays or work

Features
  • GPS auto-classifier that separates UK and foreign miles without manual tagging
  • Year-end eVED forecaster with carry-over credit modelling
  • Trip planner that pre-calculates eVED cost on routes like Calais to the Alps
  • Refund-packet generator for overpaid foreign mileage while the government confirms it cannot auto-refund at launch
Why now

The UK government has confirmed eVED launches April 2028, that 6 million EV drivers are in scope, and that the system cannot issue automatic refunds for overseas miles at launch — meaning every cross-border driver is going to overpay in year one unless they track manually.

Demand

eVED is confirmed by gov.uk for April 2028 (3p/mile for EVs), with major media (Express, MSN) flagging that drivers self-reporting mileage will be charged on overseas miles too; Ionity survey shows ~94% of UK EV drivers take long-distance trips, many cross-border.Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) - GOV.UKMillions of EV drivers to pay tax twice on holiday under new Rachel Reeves' plan - ExpressWhat range anxiety?

Whitespace
7/10

No eVED-specific tracking app surfaced; incumbents like MileClear target business/self-employed mileage, not consumer cross-border eVED optimisation, and government has ruled out black boxes, leaving a manual-tracking gap.Mileage Tracker UK - Free HMRC-Ready App | MileCleareVED pay-per-mile tax: Everything you need to know ahead of 2028 - Honest John

Monetization
5/10

A typical EV driver pays only ~£240/year (8,000 miles) — small absolute stakes and an annual self-reporting cycle limits willingness to pay subscription fees; pain is real but conversion to paid SaaS is uncertain.eVED Your Questions Answered - Better TransportElectric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) Consultation Guide - Electric Car Scheme

Longevity
8/10

eVED is locked in by primary legislation/consultation for April 2028; EV parc is growing toward 6M+ and cross-border leisure driving is structurally entrenched.Electric vehicle excise duty (eVED) - House of Commons LibraryConsultation on the Introduction of Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) - GOV.UK

Feasibility
8/10

GPS mileage tracking, geofenced country borders, and real-time bill forecasting are well-trodden engineering problems; existing mileage-logger SDKs and APIs (e.g. those used by MileClear) make this buildable in weeks, not months.Mileage Tracker UK - Free HMRC-Ready App | MileClear
