Commentary | Proposed EV target cuts

Watering down sales targets risks weakening consumer and industry confidence in the transition. We cannot encourage consumers to switch to electric vehicles when the market is constantly being sent mixed messages, for example with pay per-mile EV duties from 2028. If the government wants the EV transition to succeed, it must take this opportunity to provide a consistent, supportive roadmap, not a set of mixed signals that confuse consumers. Pick a target and then stick to it.
