Everyday Rewards is coming 1 February 2024

We are launching a new loyalty programme early next year that will replace Onecard and we’re proud to announce bp as our foundation partner.

Sounds like without BP and Contdown, AA SmartFuel aren't able to continue.

Everyone will pay RUCs is the plan. Probably the simplest option.

... that actually seems like a pretty reasonable policy - what is this!?. Devil in the details - like I'd probably support setting the pricing brackets such that hybrids and EVs are slightly cheaper per km than the equivalent class petrol car, and cynically I can't help but expect someone to suggest something idiotic like a RUC on bicycles - but in a post-petrol world, RUC seems like the most sensible way to maintain user-pays taxes to fund roading infrastructure

Yup, even PHEV owners I've spoken to accept the idea.

Personally, I think it would be the simplest option by far to just do it by weight, we already have emissions levies on fuel.
