Latest EV Industry News & Updates

Conservatives table a bill to revoke the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, prompting pushback from Labour and the EV industry as battery-electric cars claim a record 29.8% share of August new-car sales.

SMMT data show August new-car registrations up 13.7% to 94,236, with BEVs rising 27.7% to a 29.8% market share; year-to-date BEV share hits a record 25.6% but remains below the 33% 2026 mandate target.

UK business and charging leaders warn ministers not to weaken the ZEV mandate, arguing that cutting 2030 EV sales targets risks investment, charging rollout and buyer confidence just as EV sales accelerate.
