UK Launches Consultation to Review Electric Car Sales Targets Amid Industry Pushback

The British government has initiated a consultation to consider adjusting its Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, potentially softening EV sales targets for automakers between 2027 and 2035. This review comes as the industry argues current targets may be overly ambitious given economic challenges and supply chain disruptions. Stakeholders, including manufacturers, suppliers, and charging companies, are invited to provide input to ensure the mandate remains practical and supports the transition to zero-emission vehicles.
