Car manufacturers are urging the government to revise harsh regulations affecting electric vehicle (EV) sales, as demand lags. To encourage consumers to buy EVs, industry experts suggest measures such as implementing subsidies, increasing the availability of affordable models, clarifying government policies, reducing VAT on public charging, and improving the public charging infrastructure. Notable figures like automotive journalist Quentin Willson emphasize the need for financial incentives and clearer communication to enhance consumer confidence in EVs.
