Background
The mileage charge will add significant annual costs to EV drivers on top of new VED charges, discouraging people from switching to cleaner vehicles. With fuel duty frozen again, this policy creates an unfair imbalance and undermines efforts to cut emissions. There are also unanswered questions about privacy, monitoring, and how mileage will be verified. A better, fairer policy is needed
