The UK automotive industry is calling on the government to boost the electric vehicle market with fresh incentives. Concerns are growing over the current policies, which are blamed for job losses and de-industrialization.
The UK’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, mandating a shift to electric vehicles, is now law. This aims for 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans to be zero-emission by 2030, increasing to 100% by 2035.
