Energy UK and ChargeUK urge the UK Government to maintain the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate trajectory to sustain EV demand, investment, and charging infrastructure growth. They warn that weakening the mandate could increase costs for charging businesses and drivers, raising overall energy bills and undermining the competitiveness of EV production in the UK.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face rising costs if the UK weakens its zero emission vehicle mandate because fewer EVs mean higher charges for infrastructure that depend on volume. You can now push for competitive business electricity pricing as that will be the real lever for investment and EV scale.
