Many people depend on driving for work, education, and family life, with no viable public transport. We think a pay-per-mile tax would unfairly hit many families, shift workers and parents supporting children’s sports.

Stop mileage tax on electric & plug-in hybrid cars & reduce public charging VAT
To remove the planned mileage tax on electric and plugin-hybrid cars, and to equalise VAT on public charging to 5% to support adoption.
Apply the 1.5p per mile levy on hybrid cars only on electric miles driven
From April 2028, the UK Government plans to introduce a mileage-based road tax of 1.5p per mile for hybrids, alongside Vehicle Excise Duty. Hybrids will also keep paying fuel duty when using petrol, meaning they are taxed twice, through fuel duty and the new mileage levy on all miles driven.
Stop the EV Pay-Per-Mile Tax
Cancel the planned pay-per-mile road tax for electric vehicles. We want to stop unfair double-taxing of drivers who already pay a premium VED surcharge on family-sized EVs and hybrids.
Amend law to complete the UK’s transition from use of miles to kilometres
Legislate for a phased transition to full use of metric units. From 2031 convert road signage to kilometres, require all new vehicles to display km/h as the primary speed unit, issue binding guidance to public bodies, & mandate metric units in property descriptions enforced via Trading Standards.
Scrap either EV pay-per-mile tax or Vehicle Excise Duty for EVs. Don't have both
From 2028 electric car owners will pay BOTH VED car tax and 3p per mile. We think this will punish working people and families resulting in around £300 extra for 10000 miles on top of £195 VED tax for many EVs. It's not like the electricity to charge the car hasn't already been taxed.
