Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to assist the electric vehicle market in meeting targets for electric vehicles, in accordance with their zero-emission vehicle mandate.

The Government is committed to supporting the transition to zero emission vehicles and the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate includes a range of flexibilities. Over £2.3bn funding was announced in the Autumn Budget to support manufacturers, businesses and consumers with this transition. The funding sits alongside a range of favourable tax incentives, designed to encourage the uptake of zero emission vehicles.

Additionally, the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate includes a range of flexibilities to accommodate manufacturers’ different starting points in the transition.
