Government risks falling behind on EV targets
- Report says high purchase prices and insufficient public charging are hurdles
- MPs also warned that government's mixed messaging risks slowing EV adoption
The Government needs to seriously accelerate its transition to electric vehicles (EVs) if Britain is going to meet net zero targets in time, a House of Lords inquiry has found.
Surely that's a negative risk in that missing EV targets benefits the UK. Presumably that's what the EV market is telling us, but the Conservatives don't believe in markets.
Apparently they do believe in the Demon Gas of the Skies, or carbon dioxide as we usually call it.

Amazing that we are talking about "Conservatives" ignoring markets, isn't it? When did that happen? Few people can afford EVs, even fewer have got charging points, there are many horror stories about owning massive electric turkeys, and narratives about our bright future of national EV ownership are fictions.
But MPs are worried about mixed messages. It doesn't look very mixed to me!
Sam - to my mind, ignoring markets is the big clue and surely an important source of their problems. Net Zero is all about ignoring markets as conservatives should have seen from the beginning, but they didn't.
