EV grant confusion 'means carmakers could miss targets', warns motor industry chief
Briefly

The UK's electric vehicle mandate faces risks due to uncertainty surrounding a new government grant scheme. Motor manufacturers report confusion over which electric vehicle models will qualify for grant support, hampering their ability to plan strategically for sales targets. As the new grant aims to enhance affordability in the EV market, eligibility details will not be released until August 11, leaving manufacturers without crucial data. The zero-emission vehicle mandate requires increasing targets for new sales, and an uneven grant rollout could adversely affect market balance and compliance.
