“Row back on ZEV targets put billions of pounds of UK investment at risk” Read the statement from BEAMA, ChargeUK, REA and UKSIF here: https://lnkd.in/ee6Jkmys Organisations and investors spearheading the roll out of EV charging infrastructure across the UK, have today issued a coordinated call on the Government to urgently recommit to existing EV sales targets. The unprecedented joint warning from BEAMA, ChargeUK, REA and UKSIF urges the Government not to cave to short-sighted demands to water down the commitment for vehicle manufacturers to sell a minimum of 22% zero emission vehicles in 2024, rising to 80% in 2030 and 100% in 2035. Yselkla Farmer, CEO of BEAMA said, “We cannot underestimate the impact moving the goal posts again could have on UK investment and pace of electrification. We recently published our plans for a UK Industrial Strategy which makes a strong case for the growth opportunities stemming from this sector. A decision to back track on the ZEV mandate will be entirely counter to the UK’s longer term ambition to drive inward investment for manufacturing.” #zevmandate #zev #evinfrastructure #ev #ukmanufacturing #AcceleratingElectrification

🚗🌍 As an active member of BEAMA, I strongly support the call for urgent action to drive EV adoption and tackle climate change head-on. With the new The Labour Party government, we need to see bold leadership and a clear re-commitment to ambitious climate targets. Every EV on the road is a step closer to net zero, a boost for clean energy jobs, and the foundation of a stronger, greener energy ecosystem. 🔑 My request is clear: bring back the petrol and diesel ban to 2030. This decisive move would send a powerful message about the Government’s commitment to climate action and accelerate the transition to a sustainable future. ⏳ Now is the time to recommit, refocus, and reignite our efforts towards a greener, cleaner, and more resilient transport future. Let’s work together to ensure that no one is left behind in this journey. #Sustainability 🌱 #NetZero ⚡ #EV 🚘 #ClimateAction 🌍 #GreenFuture 💡

🚗It is vital that the UK government provide clear and consistent signals for EV infrastructure investment. Wavering on ZEV targets risks undermining the UK’s competitive position in the global clean energy transition. ⚡Lucy Electric is working closely with our customers to enable rapid EV charging grid connectivity. We need clarity on the Government’s requirements so we can continue to scale up and meet future demand. #ZEVMandate #EVInfrastructure #SustainableFuture

Pakistan is taking steps to promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by slashing power prices at EV charging stations. Power Minister Awais Leghari revealed that the government is working on a new pricing structure to make EVs more affordable and accessible. This incentive will cover all charging and battery swapping stations for small cars, two-wheelers, and three-wheelers. As part of this push, several auto companies, particularly from China, have introduced EV models in the country this year. Meanwhile, a partnership between Chinese automaker BYD and Pakistan State Oil aims to set up a nationwide EV charging network. With electricity demand declining and rising prices, the government is also exploring energy sector reforms to ensure long-term sustainability. #Pakistan #ElectricVehicles #EVCharging #Sustainability #GreenEnergy

[OPINION PIECE] SA’s EV transition needs off-grid solution 📰 Solar-powered electric vehicle charging can make green mobility a reality in SA ☀️🔋 In his budget speech, Godongwana announced that manufacturers would be able to claim 150% of qualifying investment spending on electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles. An additional R964m has been allocated over the medium term to support the transition to EVs. While this news is a welcome move to foster the national adoption of EVs and ensure the SA motor industry remains globally competitive, key questions remain. In particular, it is not yet clear how the government plans to meet the increased demand for electricity that will be created by the mass charging of EVs in future. It is incomprehensible for any government to promote the adoption of EVs when there is no clear support system in place for the development of a sustainable EV charging network, especially when no grid in the world was designed to sustain the vast demand that EVs charging will create.

ChargeUK CEO Vicky Read: "I’m pleased to welcome Heidi Alexander to her new role as Secretary of State for Transport. "There has been much focus on the EV transition and the role of our sector in recent days and weeks. With a consultation on the ZEV mandate imminent, the Secretary of State arrives at a critical juncture in the UK’s road to net zero. "The Government can take the path towards green jobs, cleaner air and continued investment in charging by sticking to a strong ZEV mandate and by supporting drivers to switch to electric. Or it can opt to backslide on its ambition, unpicking the mandate to deliver fewer electric vehicles onto the UK’s road in the coming years. This would be bad news not just for our industry, but also for the UK’s wider ambition towards achieving net zero targets. "We’re looking forward to working with the new Transport Secretary to ensure the UK stays on track and continues to blaze a trail in rolling out critical EV charging infrastructure.” #ChargeUK #EVcharging #EV

The Chancellor’s first #Budget was packed with different incentives and funding to stimulate growth within the UK’s #electricvehicle industry. Commitments included £200m investment into EV charging points and £2bn over five years to support the #automotive sector's ramp-up production of zero-emission vehicles. The government is currently waving both a stick and a carrot to entice more customers to buy #EVs and force manufacturers to sell more. However, as we’ve seen with historic governments, incentives, grants, or penalties will bring little meaningful change to the sector unless we can make the production of EVs more efficient. New technologies have the potential to unlock the next stage in the development of EVs. At Monumo, our focus is optimising the electric motor. This is one way to help overcome the multitude of barriers to widespread EV adoption by reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of building new EVs.

Best option for Pakistan to fight current energy woes is to electrify transport: two/three wheeler, all cars on urgent basis.

Good morning everyone - today's story from me is about GCC EV investment, not adoption, which has also been making headlines in the past week. Analysts say the EV market is facing challenges - adhering to emissions policies, working out where to source the materials needed to build them, but, the GCC will continue to invest as the world moves from 1st phase adoption to mass adoption. https://lnkd.in/di2vw6En
Analysis: GCC EV industry will continue to gain pace despite challenges

Now we know. A Chinese company, ADM Group, has signed a $350 million agreement to enhance Pakistan's electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. The project includes installing 3,000 EV charging stations nationwide, in partnership with local firms Malik Enterprises and Indus Valley. ADM Group will invest $90 million in charging infrastructure and allocate $250 million to establish an EV manufacturing plant. The initiative aims to accelerate EV adoption, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and position Pakistan as a regional hub for EV manufacturing and infrastructure development.
