Work with motorists and industry on a fairer system that does not penalise EV and hybrid owners. If revenue is needed, apply changes equally across all vehicle types rather than introducing a new tax that targets only cleaner vehicles.","additional_details":". EV and hybrid drivers already pay higher VAT, higher purchase costs, rising insurance and VED, including the £50k Expensive Car Supplement. Adding a mileage tax unfairly targets those choosing cleaner vehicles. If fairness is the goal, the Government should raise fuel duty equally for petrol and diesel drivers, not introduce a new tax that only affects EV and hybrid owners. Withdraw eVED and create a fair system.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2025-11-29T07:14:16.409Z","updated_at":"2026-01-15T12:01:52.694Z","rejected_at":"2026-01-15T12:01:52.696Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-11-29T11:28:50.000Z","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":[]}}}
