Hybrid vehicles evade reinstated 2030 ban on sale of new diesel and petrol vehicles | RAC Drive

The Labour Government has announced that they are going to reinstate the 2030 ban on the sales of new petrol and diesels but hybrids will be allowed until 2035.

This is a bit of a gift to Toyota and Ford, which would have a real expensive time meeting a 100% ZEV mandate.

Now, the question is ... will the original 80% ZEV mandate for 2030 survive at all or will Starmer's percentage of true ZEV vehicles actually be lower while supposedly "moving up" the date?
