Revise the eVED Taxation on Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs)

Revise the eVED Taxation on Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs) — 352 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

We call on the Government to revise the proposed eVED charge to prevent 'unfair' double taxation. PHEV drivers pay a flat 1.5p/mile even on petrol miles, where they already pay 53.95p/L fuel duty. We believe this discriminates against those who adopted hybrids in good faith to reduce emissions.

Additional details

We request specific revisions to the PHEV eVED: 1. "Fuel Duty Credit": Allow owners to offset pump duty against their eVED bill. 2. Exempt Non-Electric Miles: Use onboard tech to apply eVED only to zero-emission miles. 3. Adjust the Rate: Reduce the 1.5p PHEV rate for short-range vehicles (e.g., 20-30 miles). 4. "Grandfathering Protection": Exempt existing PHEV owners - early adopters - from the new charge. We believe these changes would ensure fairness for those who invested in transitional green technology.
