All new cars and vans bought in the UK must be zero emission by 2035, according to the latest legal mandate updated this week.
The government says this is giving consumers more time to make the switch and deal with the UK’s charging infrastructure.
While the government points to statistics indicating a 41 percent increase in zero-emission vehicles registered for the first time – note, the vast majority of newly registered vehicles still remain conventionally powered – charging infrastructure is an altogether different story.
According to research from RAC, a local roadside assistance business, the government has failed to meet its target of having six or more rapid or ultra-rapid electric vehicle chargers at every motorway service area in England.
EV owners are faced with a bewildering array of charging options, from using a UK three-pin plug through various types and speeds up to the latest and greatest from Tesla.
Finally, the government’s plans also fail to tackle that other challenge faced by EV drivers: finding a public charge point that actually works.
