The rebate scheme for PHEVs would make more sense, as the amount of petrol they need can vary wildly depending on the battery size and average trip distance.
I wonder if you add a generator to your EV to make it into a PHEV, do you then pay less RUCs?
I can absolutely see why they went with a lower rate of RUCs though, what they were proposing would have been a nightmare to administer, and a pain in the ass for owners.
