UK Government Faces Backlash over Electric Vehicle Sales Targets The UK government is reportedly considering a significant reduction in its electric vehicle (EV) sales targets in the face of mounting pressure from car manufacturers. Industry leaders have been lobbying for a more realistic and achievable goal, citing supply chain constraints and production capacity limitations. The current target of banning new petrol and diesel car sales by 2030 is at risk of being watered down, with some sources suggesting that the deadline could be pushed back by several years. The move is likely to be met with criticism from environmental groups and those pushing for a faster transition to cleaner transportation.
