They’re not the only plans the government are rolling back regards BEV’s, The OLEV grant of £350 towards the cost of a EV home charger installation is getting the boot on the 31st March 2022 also.There will be much more rolling back and U turns, ICE vehicles will be around for much longer as well as gas boilers and the fracking of natural shale gas will become a priority as it’s very rapidly becoming an uncomfortable truth that the green utopia will not work with the wheels starting to come off already.
The case for and fight back for ICE hasn’t even started yet.2023 looks interesting.
My money would be on continuing ICE vehicle manufacture after 2030, not Lithium dependent EV’s hauling tonnes of needless batteries around the country running out of charge, in that environment.
Obviously also much easier for the existing fuel retailing sector to maintain its market share v home charging and Tesla etc owning the rest of the fuelling network.This might yet come down to fight between the large oil giants like BP v the Tesla and Octopus etc upstarts and their inferior technology which already lost the race in 1904.
