The government has been urged not to cave to “short-sighted” demands to water down proposed sales targets for electric vehicles (EV) in the UK.A consortium of investors and operators in the EV charging industry warned changes to the so-called ZEV mandate would put “thousands of jobs throughout the low carbon transport supply chain at risk” and threaten billions of pounds of inward investment.It comes after ministers announced a consultation into new rules that stipulate British carmakers must sell a minimum of 22 per cent zero-emission vehicles in 2024, or face fines proportionate to the extent the target is missed.The ZEV mandate will increase yearly until it reaches 100 per cent by 2035, however the government is currently considering reducing the per-car penalty from its current £15,000 level and introducing certain “flexibilities” to the scheme.\n\nThe apparent shift follows intense lobbying from the UK’s traditional automakers, many of which are also grappling with increasing competition from Chinese manufacturers and have warned of cutbacks, job losses and a retreat from global investors.EVs made up 18 per cent of the industry’s market share between January and November this year, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), below the ZEV mandate’s current 22 per cent target.However, a slew of trade associations, including ChargeUK, the Association of Renewable Energy and Clean Technology (REA) and the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF), argued on Monday carmakers were “on target” to hit the ZEV mandate in 2024, thanks to rising consumer demand for electric models and certain flexibilities already worked in by the government. “A swift, decisive and public confirmation by government that EV sales targets will remain unchanged is needed for private investors to fund rapid rollout of charging infrastructure, and to reassure consumers that their next vehicle should be zero emission,” a joint statement read.\n\nFigures surrounding private demand for EVs have proved a tension point in the industry over the last year. The SMMT’s rolling reports are the most commonly relied upon source of car sales data in the UK, yet some groups are concerned they do not actively reflect private sales of electric cars, given deals made via things like salary sacrifice schemes are categorised seperately.When the Dutch carmaking giant Stellantis recently announced plans to close its Luton factory, it cited the ZEV mandate. However, many in the sector pushed back against its reasoning, given the plant had struggled for years and Stellantis’ shares have fallen over 40 per cent in the last 12 months. Its chief executive quit abruptly in early December following a boardroom spat.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.4","shortVersion":"4.29.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2491615850"}
