A new government plan could see motorists pay a fee for every mile that they drive.
The charge may be introduced to raise money for the UK Government and to help reach climate change targets.
According to recent reports, the toll system could be introduced to all roads in the UK.
Tolls are currently restricted to some bridges, and areas such as the M6 toll - where car drivers pay £7 to use the motorway.
Other pre-existing systems see drivers have to pay a congestion charge to drive in London.
The move is reported to be under consideration as the Government faces falling review from fuel duty.
The Government will get less and less cash from motorists as more switch to electric cars.
Rishi Sunak has previously expressed an interest in the move, and the Daily Mail reports that the scheme is back on the agenda.
The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change published a report calling for road pricing to be introduced in August.
It said: “A new system of vehicle taxation is urgently needed. As more people purchase electric vehicles, changes to taxation will be harder to manage.
