Buyers ordering new petrol cars won't receive them for months as manufacturers ration sales to avoid hefty net zero fines

Daily Mail  

Car manufacturers are having to ration the sales of petrol and hybrid cars in the UK to avoid falling foul of the government's rules on zero emission vehicle sales, according to the boss of one of Britain's biggest dealership chains. Vertu Motors CEO Robert Forrester claims car manufacturers' sales are being throttled in the UK because of new rules on electric vehicle sales Passed into law under the Conservative government, the zero-emission vehicle mandate requires 22 per cent of all vehicles to be sold this year to be zero-emission - covering the likes of electric and hydrogen fuel cell cars. The targets for ZEV car sales are: 2024: 22 per cent 2025: 28 per cent 2026: 33 per cent 2027: 38 per cent 2028: 52 per cent 2029: 66 per cent 2030: 80 per cent As of July, electric vehicle sales made up around 16.8 per cent of all new car sales in the UK in 2024. The minimum requirement to avoid fines in 2024 is 22%, rising to 28% next year and 33% in 2026 The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, a trade body representing the UK car industry, expects just 18.5 per cent of new car sales to be purely electric, down from an earlier prediction of 19.8 per cent. As of July, electric vehicle sales made up around 16.8 per cent of all new car sales in the UK in 2024.
