EV sales targets will apply from 2024 to the 2035 petrol and diesel ban, but there\u2019s a \u2018trading scheme\u2019 to help out<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Long-awaited details of the government\u2019s Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate have been announced today, confirming the targets for electric car sales that manufacturers must meet between 2024 and 2035.<\/p>\n

Things kick off in January next year, and in the first 12 months, car makers will be required to sell enough electric vehicles to account for 22 per cent of their total sales volumes. This percentage will rise in stages to 80 per cent of volume by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2035. That\u2019s also the deadline by which the sale of new internal combustion-engined (ICE) vehicles will be outlawed, after Rishi Sunak\u2019s government last week pushed back the previously announced 2030 date for the UK\u2019s ban, bringing us into line with other significant global markets including the European Union.<\/p>\n
