BEAMA’s Post

“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
