Introduce a fairer, future-proof approach that supports the UK’s transition to cleaner transport.","additional_details":"The mileage charge will add significant annual costs to EV drivers on top of new VED charges, discouraging people from switching to cleaner vehicles. With fuel duty frozen again, this policy creates an unfair imbalance and undermines efforts to cut emissions. There are also unanswered questions about privacy, monitoring, and how mileage will be verified. A better, fairer policy is needed","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2025-11-28T14:53:17.977Z","updated_at":"2026-01-15T12:03:48.526Z","rejected_at":"2026-01-15T12:03:43.975Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-11-28T17:15:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may be interested in these petitions, which call for similar action:\r\n\r\n\"Do not introduce pay-per-mile road charging for UK drivers\"\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/749667\r\n\r\n\"Stop the EV Pay-Per-Mile Tax\"\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/752431\r\n\r\n\"Stop mileage tax on electric & plug-in hybrid cars & reduce public charging VAT\"\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/752170"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
