Rejected petition: Scrap Eved on electric vehicles & plug in hybirds
Rejected on
Scrapping only the pay-per-mile eVED keeps EV tax simple and fair. It protects high-mileage and rural drivers from a "mileage penalty" and cuts complex DVLA tracking. The Treasury still gets steady revenue from flat-rate VED, keeping roads funded without stalling green adoption.
Scrapping the pay-per-mile eVED while retaining a flat-rate VED is a powerful compromise for EV adoption. First, it protects rural and high-mileage drivers from being unfairly penalized for going green. Second, it completely eliminates the invasive privacy concerns and administrative nightmare of tracking and self-reporting odometer readings to the DVLA. still receives steady road revenue without introducing unpredictable bills that deter buyers
