This is the best summary I could come up with:

People who drive in the zone in a vehicle that does not meet minimum emissions standards are required to pay a £12.50 daily fee or risk a £180 fine, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days.

Khan told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme it was a “difficult decision” to expand the zone, but a vital one, explaining that in London 4,000 premature deaths a year were linked directly to air pollution.

The mayor told Times Radio that nine out of 10 cars driving in outer London were already compliant and would not be subject to any of the new fees.

In May 2020, the then transport secretary, Grant Shapps, wrote to Khan asking him to “urgently bring forward proposals to widen the scope and levels of” the congestion charge.

However, the current transport secretary, Mark Harper, said he would stop the expansion of London’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) if he had the power to do so.

In fact, the government has provided TfL £6bn since 2020 to keep public transport moving and almost £102m for projects specifically targeted to help tackle air pollution.”
