🔥 The truth is clear: PHEVs are one of the biggest automotive cons in history.

🧠The real smart, affordable, and low-cost choice is to go fully electric — especially with more budget BEV models launching next year.

The future of haulage is here: it’s time for a zero-emission mandate for HGVs Zero-emission trucks are ready for the road. The industry is prepared. But without decisive government action, Anna Krajinska, UK Director at T&E, ...

We wrote something for @politicshome.bsky.social on the need for a zero-emission mandate for HGVs.

UK’s shift on car sales rules may lead to higher emissions, says statutory adviser Up to 500,000 more plug-in hybrids could be sold because of government flexibility on the zero-emission mandate

'T&E, a campaign group on transport and environmental issues, said the changes would mean as many as 500,000 extra PHEVs on UK roads by 2030.'

Weakened emissions targets ‘threaten electric vehicle sales surge’ Transition rule changes could slow this year’s sharp rise in EV purchases, campaigners fear

Changes to the #ZEVmandate leave the car industry facing a production cliff edge in the UK by 2030.

The proposals jeopardise the stable transition to EVs and undermine industry confidence.

#ElectricVehicles | #EV | #Emobility | #ZEVMandate

On amendments to the zero emission vehicles mandate, announced today, Shaun Spiers executive director said "The government is right to protect the UK car industry in the face of US tariffs, but China and others are racing ahead in EV production. Long term, these amendments to pro-growth regulations risk hampering competition, pushing up costs by locking families into dependence on expensive petrol vehicles. The only lasting solution is a clear industrial strategy rooted in climate action, to protect UK jobs, and our energy and economic security."

The future of the UK car industry must be electric — or it won’t have one.

Today, the prime minister has shown clear support for the 2030 phase out of highly polluting cars and vans, while also relaxing regulations in the #ZEVmandate.

Great to hear Jim Rowan, CEO Volvo, on #BBCtoday calling the UK one of the strongest EV markets.

He also praised the #ZEVmandate and 2030 deadline as 'extremely useful' and ‘exactly the right thing’ for business and climate. "If you don't invest you'll be left behind".

Jim Rowan, CEO of Volvo: the UK is "a really strong market" for EVs. The #ZEVMandate is "extremely useful." It's good to get car companies investing in "the technologies of the future, because that's where the competition is going to be". Good to hear.

Car industry set to meet 2024 EV sales target, analysis finds A think tank said this is because the zero-emission vehicle mandate takes into account credits from selling low-emission petrol and diesel cars.

🚗💡 Department for Transport confirms: the ZEV mandate flexibilities mean targets will be met. Good to see this analysis from ECIU which confirms many of our findings on the UK's ZEV mandate. 🌍⚡ #EV #ZEVmandate #ClimateAction www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/depa...

Electric car sales hit 25% of UK market share The ZEV mandate is working, but ministers must not pull the rug under progress

Actually, there's a very interesting comparative experiment going on here;
You see, the UK has NOT imposed any tariffs on #China-made EVs, as the EU did in OCT;
Indeed, that #ZEVMandate requires 80% of cars sold in UK to be zero-emission by 2030 www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

November car registrations data from SMMT

Battery electric car sales up by 18% so far in 2024 compared to last year. Overall car sales also higher than 2023.

New ministers need to have a bit more healthy scepticism before accepting claims of car industry. #ZEVMandate

@adamvaughan.bsky.social we’ve all been working very hard to find some balance and sense in an argument that’s once again become very anti #electricvehicles

As I said earlier, my new campaign. Hate cars? Love an EV.

#ZEVmandate is working

As @bennelmes.bsky.social rightly says, this is a sad day for Ford 🚗 but with the right investments in the future #energytransition economy we can transfer skills and create the jobs of the future - the #ZEVmandate is an important policy to make sure investors have certainty and clarity on 🇬🇧 plans!
