Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Office for Budget Responsibility's publication entitled What does faster take-up of electric cars mean for tax receipts, published in March 2022, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of raising targets in the ZEV mandate to reflect the OBR's forecast for electric car sales.

The government is fully supportive of the transition to electric vehicles. The government is analysing responses to the technical consultation on zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate policy design, and will bring forward the Government’s response, and a full regulatory proposal and cost benefit analysis, in due course.
