"well-meaning but ultimately destructive piece of legislation"
"The reality is that the EU's change of heart on EVs will leave Labour even more isolated, and by pressing ahead alone, we are placing our domestic industry at a disadvantage while giving others the opportunity to dominate global supply chains."
"affordability, practicality and technological progress"
"unrealistic mandates that weaken domestic manufacturing and empower foreign competitors"
The Conservative Party plans to repeal the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate that would require all new cars sold from 2030 to be electric or hybrid. The repeal is justified as protecting domestic manufacturing, preserving affordability and allowing technological progress rather than enforcing strict mandates. Several EU countries have urged rethinking a 2035 petrol/diesel phase-out, and the EU appears to be softening its stance. Concerns include weakening UK industry and enabling other countries, notably China, to dominate supply chains. The government still intends a transition to cleaner transport driven by cost and practicality.
