With the autumn release of the UK Government\u2019s Net Zero Strategy, and the recent pledges from COP26<\/a> in Glasgow, we see a focus on action, innovation, and global collaboration in a bid to hit the world\u2019s carbon targets. As part of this action, electric vehicles<\/a> (EV) and associated technology will play a leading role in enabling the reduction of carbon emissions from transport.<\/p>\n Within the Net Zero Strategy, domestic transport policy has seen a change in pace, with milestones and deadlines set to phase out the use of petrol and diesel vehicles. This includes the enshrinement of strict zero-emission-only car and van sales by 2035, preceded by no more sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030. By 2040, the government will end the sale of all new, non-zero-emission road vehicles, inclusive of motorcycles, buses, and HGVs.<\/p>\n To support the phasing out of carbon-intensive transport, \u00a3620m of government funding has been promised to strengthen the transition to electric vehicles, charging infrastructure<\/a> and targeted plug-in vehicle grants. This action must work collectively with innovation. The transition to electric vehicles creates global opportunities to leverage increased deployment of renewable and clean electricity generation using embedded battery storage in EVs and large-scale digital services integration to deliver the UK\u2019s commitment to net zero.<\/p>\n
