Consultation launched over petrol car phase-out

Quick Summary:

The government says it will "restore clarity" for vehicle manufacturers and the charging industry.

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit think tank said the UK would meet its targets because the mandate took into account credits earned from selling lower-emission hybrid petrol and diesel vehicles, as well as sales of vehicles that were fully electric.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander wants industry views from automotive and charging experts on how to deliver Labour's manifesto commitment to restore the 2030 deadline.
