The UK government has initiated a consultation on the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate to review electric vehicle sales targets from 2027 to 2035. This move is significant as it could potentially lead to a relaxation of the current targets, which require 80% of new car sales to be battery-electric vehicles by 2030.
Key Insights
The consultation will gather input from various stakeholders including manufacturers, suppliers, charging station operators, dealers, and consumers. The goal is to understand how to best achieve a phase-out of internal combustion engines by 2035, a crucial step towards reducing emissions and meeting climate goals.
