Delays have dangerous ends
Assessing the impact of delaying the switchover to electric vehicles
New AutoMotive analysis published ahead of Parliamentary debate and approval of Government regulations indicates that deferring the phase out of petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030 to 2035 will cost consumers, industry and the environment dearly.
Industry and consumers had previously expected that only new cars and vans which were fully electric or had “significant zero emission capability” would be sold from 2030. However, despite assurances as recently as 25 July that the 2030 date was “immovable”, the PM announced in September that the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles would continue beyond the end of 2029 through to the end of 2034. The other policy measure - requiring makers to hit steadily increasing sales targets of electric vehicles, reaching 80% by 2030 - remains in place.
