In the wake of the parent company of car company Vauxhall announcing it will close its 120-year-old Luton plant, ministers are having another look at the electric vehicle sales targets car makers have to meet.
The article from Sky News discusses the UK government's concerns regarding the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Transport Minister Richard Holden has expressed "profound concern" about the upcoming mandate that requires 22% of new car sales to be zero-emission by next year, increasing to 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. In response, the government has launched a fast-track consultation to address potential issues with the mandate, particularly focusing on the readiness of the market and infrastructure. This includes concerns over the availability of EVs, the development of charging infrastructure, and the impact on the automotive industry. The consultation aims to gather feedback from manufacturers, consumers, and other stakeholders to ensure the transition is feasible and does not disadvantage UK carmakers or consumers. Additionally, there are discussions about the broader implications for the economy, employment in the automotive sector, and the environmental benefits of moving away from fossil fuel vehicles.
