🚗🔋Today, around 9% of new cars sold are battery electric, and 8% are plug-in hybrid.

📈⚡️ By 2035, 100% of new cars and vans sold will be zero emission at the tailpipe

Find out how we're supporting this transition in our 2035 Delivery Plan. #NetZero gov.uk/government/pub…
Here are two scenarios for how ULEV and ZEV sales might grow over the next 15 years.

We're at the start of a long journey to transition the car and van market in the UK
The market for more affordable zero emission cars is growing rapidly, with a more than 60% increase in cars priced under £35,000 since 2019.

We anticipate a much bigger market for second-hand ZEVs by 2035 and second-hand ICE and PHEV vehicles will continue to be able to be sold.
The van market is already seeing a rapid transition, with real eagerness from businesses across different sectors to decarbonise at pace.

🛻🚚 Here's just a handful of the leading businesses that have made public commitments on transitioning to ZEVs
🚒🚚🛻 We have already said that 25% of the central government car fleet will be ULEVs by 2022.

We will accelerate our fleet commitment. 100% of our car and van fleet (over 40,000 vehicles) will be fully zero emission at the tailpipe by 2027.
🔋🔋🔋 We are investing £1.3 billion to accelerate the rollout of charging infrastructure on motorways, on streets, in homes and workplaces. Later this year we'll public our EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy.

There are now more than 25,000 public chargepoints in the UK.
⚡️⚡️⚡️ Reliable and easily accessible public charging infrastructure is key to making the switch to EVs as smooth as possible. We have recently consulted to understand how to improve the consumer experience at public chargepoints focused.
There's lots more in the 2035 Delivery Plan on how @OZEVgovuk is supporting business and consumers to make this transition.

🚗🔋⚡️When you're thinking about getting a new car or van, visit @GoUltraLow to find your first ZEV.

While EV uptake has been increasing people still understandably have questions and so we have created a 'Common Misconceptions' leaflet to address this #EVMisconceptions #WorldEVDay
gov.uk/government/pub…
1 - EVs don’t have the battery range to travel as far as people need
Reality - By car, 99% of journeys in England are under 100 miles, meaning most drivers’ needs are easily met by an electric car!
Find out more by following the link in the first tweet #EVMisconceptions
4 - EVs are too expensive
Reality- EVs do cost more to buy outright but they benefit from a huge advantage in running costs and much lower maintenance costs
Some forecasts show by the mid-late 2020s, EVs could be the same price to purchase as a petrol/diesel car
