UK Proposes Cutting 2030 EV Sales Target From 80% to as Low as 50%

The UK launched a consultation proposing to cut the 2030 electric vehicle sales target from 80% to as low as 50% of new cars — the second dilution of EV mandates under Labour. Automakers warn the current rules threaten jobs; the Climate Change Committee calls EVs the single biggest driver of near-term carbon cuts. The 2035 zero-emission deadline remains unchanged.
