State of the Switch 2022

EXCERPT

Make no mistake, we are living through a modern day technological revolution. The switch from polluting internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) is an essential component of one of the most significant technological changes in human history: the end of the use of fossil fuels in favour of clean, green,
and renewable energy.

This revolution is playing out on the roads of Britain right now. The UK is now just under 7 years away from ending the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles in 2030, and under 12 years away from all new vehicles being zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) in 2035. The transition away from ICE vehicles to zero emissions battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is an essential element of the Government’s plan to hit its net-zero by 2050 goal.
