Verdict

The price the DVLA taxes Adds factory-fitted options, delivery and VAT to the published price and ignores your dealer discount, exactly as the DVLA registration record does.
The £50,000 / £40,000 split Applies the £50,000 zero-emission threshold that starts on 1 April 2026 and keeps £40,000 for petrol, diesel and hybrid cars.
Years 2 to 6 total Totals the £200 standard rate and the £440 supplement across the five years the supplement is actually charged.
Pre-April-2025 EV exemption Flags zero-emission cars first registered before 1 April 2025, which never pay the Expensive Car Supplement at all.
