In a surprise move, the UK government is reportedly set to relax its ambitious target of making all new cars sold in the country electric by 2030. The original goal, first announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2020, aimed to significantly reduce the UK's carbon footprint and accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation. However, industry leaders have been warning of potential supply chain disruptions and the need for a more gradual phase-out of internal combustion engines. Sources close to the government suggest that the revised target may allow for a smaller proportion of new cars to be electric, potentially paving the way for a more pragmatic approach to achieving the UK's environmental goals.
