EV Mandates Tighten the Noose on the UK Car Industry

 Car manufacturers must ensure that electric cars make up at least 33% of their total registrations this year or face swingeing Government fines of £12,000 for every car they are short.

So far, they are struggling at below 22%, which is even less than at the same stage last year. They finished 2025 at 23.4%, well below the Government Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandated target of 28%. The harsh reality is that few private buyers want one, despite what the Government orders.
