The legislation enforces an 80% target for electric vehicles as a percentage of new car sales by 2030. With 28 Conservative MPs (including tellers) voting against, it is the biggest Tory revolt of Rishi Sunak’s premiership. The only way that manufacturers can try to meet this target is by making petrol and diesel vehicles more expensive and cutting the price of electric vehicles. If they don't meet the target then they face a fine of up to £15,000 per vehicle. The result of all this could well mean the end of the car industry here in the UK, with the public simply keeping their second-hand vehicles for longer.
