demand.Battery electric vehicles account for a record 25 per cent of registrations so far this year, but that still leaves the market well below the government’s 33 per cent Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate for 2026.To reach that target, electric cars would need to account for more than 40 per cent of all registrations across the remainder of the year.\n\nManufacturers have already spent more than £12bn discounting electric vehicles in an effort to stimulate demand, according to SMMT estimates, squeezing margins while weakening residual values.“June’s performance is very strong, showing EV uptake is growing, with battery electric cars reaching their highest market share this year and more than half of buyers choosing electrified models,” said SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes.“But even these record levels are still not enough to meet mandated targets. Manufacturers are investing billions developing and bringing the vehicles to market – and spending billions more to sell them, yet the market is still not moving fast enough.”The trade body is urging ministers to reform the ZEV mandate, arguing the current compliance costs risk making Britain a less attractive market for automotive investment at a time when global manufacturers are reassessing their electrification strategies.\n\nInfrastructure gap hinders momentumThe figures come as new analysis shows consumer appetite for electric vehicles continues to strengthen, particularly in the second-hand market.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"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,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.45.2","shortVersion":"4.45.2","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/2649626583","isCrawlerRequest":true}
