Labour plans to adjust targets for electric vehicles to permit the sale of hybrid models until 2035, responding to pressure from car manufacturers. The move could extend full-hybrid car sales by five years beyond the original 2030 cut-off.
Electric vehicle targets are set to be adjusted by Labour to allow the sale of hybrid models until 2035, under pressure from car manufacturers. Former transport secretary Louise Haigh was reportedly open to this change, which would adopt Boris Johnson's original 2020 plan. The industry has pushed for changes to the zero-emission vehicle mandate, arguing that consumer demand for electric vehicles remains low.
Labour may extend the sale of full-hybrid vehicles by five years to address industry concerns, despite their manifesto pledge to phase out new cars with pure internal combustion engines by 2030
