National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) has written to Keir Mather MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Minister for Aviation, Maritime and Decarbonisation), urging the Government to bring forward its planned review of the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate and publish its findings before the end of 2026. NFDA’s submission highlights ongoing challenges around EV affordability, charging infrastructure, battery costs and slower-than-expected uptake, arguing that an earlier review would help ensure the mandate remains aligned with current market conditions. Sue Robinson, Chief Executive of NFDA, said: “ The industry remains committed to the transition to zero-emission vehicles, but it is important that policy reflects the realities facing consumers, retailers and manufacturers. An earlier review would provide an opportunity to assess current challenges and help ensure the ZEV Mandate supports a sustainable and achievable transition .” NFDA believes a review would provide greater certainty for the sector while supporting continued progress towards decarbonisation.
