Number 10 has insisted it will not change course on its ban of all new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, even as its pals in Brussels prepare to reverse course after pressure from Germany and Italy. Miliband’s beloved EV mandate lives to fight another day, at least for now…
The Number 10 spokesman said today:
“We have set out clearly our position on this for some time now, and made the case for it. We remain committed to the policy. Our electric car grant is making it cheaper than ever to choose an EV.”
Motor industry experts in the UK are already pushing back. Ex-Aston Martin chief Dr Andy Palmer told the Times this morning:
“It becomes very difficult because if the EU drops their ban the factories there won’t ramp up their EV production in the way forecast. There wouldn’t be enough EVs to meet the demand required in the UK.”
Electric vehicle owners now face a pay-per-mile tax following the Winter Budget. This crusade looks increasingly ridiculous…
