Applying a flat per-mile charge alongside existing fuel duty risks unfairly penalising these drivers.","additional_details":"On a 300-mile journey in a PHEV with a 40-mile electric range, around 260 miles are powered by petrol. These petrol miles include fuel duty and VAT within the cost of fuel. A PHEV would pay £17.00 inc 1.5p and fuel duty at current rates\r\n\r\nA fully electric vehicle travelling the same 300 miles would pay £9.00 road charge, as no fuel duty applies.\r\n\r\nThis creates a clear imbalance, where PHEV drivers pay more for the same road use.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":16,"created_at":"2026-04-16T07:54:06.484Z","updated_at":"2026-05-13T16:02:12.060Z","rejected_at":"2026-05-13T16:02:05.213Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-16T13:57:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"We already have a petition open on this subject which you may wish to sign:\r\n\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/755668"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
