End the measurement of vehicle emissions as 'tailpipe only' to allow clean fuels
Government must end 'tailpipe only' measure as it doesn't consider other environmental costs such as battery manufacture. Allow sale of electrofuels / efuels & biomethane new cars after 2030 to reduce & reverse CO2 levels. We must reduce Lithium extraction as it is very damaging to the environment.
Clean fuels use normal petrol or diesel pumps, no need for environmentally damaging charger installs everywhere.
Battery manufacture creates high co2 emissions, adds cost & Lithium is not renewable!
Charging cars is not practical for lots of people.
Cobalt mining is still using Child Labour.
Biomethane can be CO2 negative full lifecycle.
Biomethane is biodiverse & can be made from waste reducing pollution.
Combustion cars, vans, trucks etc. are more affordable for people or business on a budget.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure for what purposes you'd like other emissions to be measured, for example to calculate vehicle tax.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You might also like to sign this petition
