The Government's proposed plans to reduce the 2030 ZEV target come with a price tag.
The Government are consulting on a proposed reduction from 80% to 50% electric vehicles.
It has been welcomed by some who argue that the current targets don't reflect consumer demand - but others think that it will delay crucial EV infrastructure investment.
According to BEAMA's recent analysis it could result in:
- 1.7 million fewer home charge point installations by 2034,
- £1.56 billion in delayed revenue,
- 12GW of lost flexible grid capacity, and
- 71 million additional tonnes of lifetime CO2 emissions.
That's a major impact on the sector with far-reaching consequences for the entire EV supply chain - including the engineering businesses responsible for the drivetrains that make this transition possible.
What are your thoughts about the Government proposal?
Should the targets be maintained?
