Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array

has launched a consultation on plans to expand 's Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) to cover the entire city - encompassing 3.5million more people - in a bid to tackle the capital's 'toxic air crisis'. 
The mayor is proposing to extend the scheme's boundary from the North and South Circular Roads to the whole of Greater London from August 29 next year - potentially pricing hundreds of thousands of drivers off the road, experts warned today. 
Drivers of vehicles which do not comply with minimum emissions standards are charged a daily fee of £12.50 for entering the Ulez.
It is the latest phase of Mr Khan's so-called 'war on motorists' in recent years, which has included:
Low Traffic Neighbourhoods which shut some roads to through-traffic but resulted in higher local congestion;The Congestion Charge being extended in time as well as cost;Cycle lanes constructed on already-existing roads but resulting in longer journeys for motorists.Analysis by the PA news agency found that more than 3.5 million more people will live within the zone if it is expanded as planned.
The mayor's office estimated that an additional 135,000 vehicles would be affected, meaning it could rake in almost £1.7million extra per day.
Meanwhile, a Freedom of Information (FOI) report from the AA has found that the proposed scheme could see a third of drivers priced off the road due to its daily charges.
While the consultation admits that 18 per cent of vehicles will be hit by the charges, information released by Transport for London points to a 34 per cent impact on London car owners in some areas. 
The motor breakdown and insurance agency llc (similar internet page) firm blasted the mayor's proposals for hitting poorest families the hardest, at a time when they will 'hopefully' be seeing the end of the cost-of-living crisis.  
It comes after the introduction of the much-hated Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), which closed some roads to through-traffic to try to reduce pollution on residential streets. 
A raft of LTNs in London were scrapped last year after they were found to increase local congestion and caused 'no material change in air quality'.
Mr Khan has also angered London's drivers in recent years with policies such as the extension in both time and price of the Congestion Charge, while cycle lanes have also proved deeply unpopular with motorists for causing longer journey times.
In launching its latest consultation, conducted by Transport for London (TfL), Mayor Khan's office warned that the capital is suffering a 'toxic air crisis', with around 4,000 premature deaths in 2019 attributed to filthy air.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has plotted for the Ultra Low Emission Zone to grow more than four times its current size, stretching from Heathrow airport to Upminster and Enfield to Biggin Hill, from the end of 2023

The boroughs of Barnet, Bromley, Croydon and Havering had the most deaths, demonstrating that poor air quality 'is not just a central London problem', according to Mr Khan's office.
Whether or not a vehicle is liable for the Ulez charge depends on how much nitrogen dioxide (NO2) it emits.
NO2 damages lungs and can exacerbate existing conditions such as asthma and lung and heart disease.
For diesel cars to avoid the charge they must generally have been registered after September 2015, while most petrol models registered from 2005 are exempt.
Jack Cousens, the AA's head of roads policy said: 'The original ULEZ impacted on 300,000 car-owning London residents, the vast majority coming from low-income backgrounds without the ability to afford a replacement vehicle. 
'This expansion of the zone will price hundreds of thousands more off the road.' 
He added: 'These drivers and their families will, hopefully, be starting to recover from the cost of living crisis in August of next year.

The London Mayor wants to hit them with a charge or a car-replacement cost that they will never be able to afford.

'The AA believes that far more can be done in lowering London's emissions by an expansion of Park & Ride and Park & Cycle facilities on the city's outskirts. 
'That benefit would remove the emissions from huge numbers of cars (Cambridge converts 3.6 million inner-city car journeys into bus trips this way each year) long after the ULEZ becomes defunct.
'With pump prices so high, it calculates that there is little difference in cost to driving from outside into inner London than taking public transport.

By train or underground, the journey time is halved, which makes Park and Ride a no-brainer.'
Mr Khan previously ruled out introducing a Clean Air Charge, which would have affected drivers of all but the cleanest vehicles.

He also decided not to go ahead with a proposal to charge drivers of vehicles registered outside London for entering the capital.
