The UK government is consulting the motor industry regarding the implementation of a ban on new petrol and diesel cars by 2030. Despite the challenges with electric vehicle (EV) adoption, including high costs and insufficient charging infrastructure, officials aim to provide clarity and boost confidence for manufacturers. Key figures such as Lisa Brankin from Ford emphasize the need for government-backed incentives, while users express concerns over the practicality of switching to EVs. The consultation includes updates to the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate to encourage sales of zero-emission vehicles.
