Watering down EV policy “wrong turn” for drivers, economy and climate
Maintaining the ZEV mandate is essential to address the climate and economic crises and to ensure energy security.
Any watering down of this policy would be a wrong turn for drivers, energy security, our climate and the economy.
The text is a statement by Greenpeace UK on the planned amendment of the ZEV mandate by the British government. The spokesperson describes any weakening of this policy as a wrong turn for drivers, energy security, climate and the economy. The lower maintenance costs of electric vehicles and the independence from foreign oil are cited as arguments. The market for electric vehicles is described as booming worldwide. Current events such as the Iran war and extreme weather conditions are mentioned as evidence for the necessity of reducing fossil fuels. The ZEV mandate is presented as one of the most effective policies for reducing planet-warming emissions. Finally, the government is urged not to jeopardise its promises on the cost of living crisis and industrialisation by holding back the green economy.
