U-turn on EV policy could stall UK’s take-up of EVs | Fiona Harvey and Jasper Jolly

The UK government is considering a significant change to its electric vehicle policy, which could slow down the country's adoption of electric cars. This potential U-turn would mean the 2030 target for 80% of new cars to have zero emissions might be lowered, possibly to as low as 40%. The shift in policy could have a major impact on the UK's efforts to reduce carbon emissions and meet its climate goals.

Why it matters

A potential cut in the UK's 2030 target for zero-emission cars could slow the adoption of electric vehicles. This change in policy may reduce investment and innovation in the EV sector.
