Introduce new vehicle registration rules for electrifying classic cars
Closed
528 signatures
What the petition asks
We believe current vehicle registration rules are operating as a barrier to the electrification of classic cars, because they are being required to be reregistered and undergo an IVA. New rules for electrifying classic cars, without the need to reregister or undergo an IVA, should be introduced.
The new rules should allow safe modifications to enable electrification without requiring an IVA.
The rules should apply retrospectively, with a right of review for cases where classic cars had their registrations removed following modification.
