Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 24 April 2026 to Question 127583 on Electric Vehicles: Prices, (a) whether her Department has a projected date by which zero emission vehicles will reach purchase price parity with internal combustion engine vehicles and (b) if she will publish the estimated date or date range.

DfT continues to monitor evidence on prices and projections. Prices for electric vehicles have fallen over the last few years, but there is substantial uncertainty around precisely when the average new zero emission car may reach price parity with an average new internal combustion engine vehicle.
