answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2023 answer text <p>The Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) mandate will support the delivery of the 2035 phase out dates and remains one of the most ambitious regulatory frameworks in the world. It will secure adequate supply of ZEVs to support continued consumer uptake of these vehicles.</p><p>The ZEV mandate also provides long term policy certainty to industry, generating inward investment in the automotive and chargepoint sectors. This is demonstrated in the scale of investment from the private sector. Over the last few years there has been over £6 billion private investment in the electric vehicle industry, including from Tata, BMW, Stellantis and Nissan. In addition the UK chargepoint industry has committed £6 billion in the development and operation of chargepoints before 2030.</p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 30/11/2023 16:00:00 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2023 answer text <p>Since 2010 the Government has spent over £2 billion to support the transition to zero emission vehicles.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government is committed to keeping the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) affordable for all consumers. Government grants have been in place for over a decade to help reduce the up-front purchase price of EVs. These grants remain available for the purchase of zero emission vans, trucks, wheelchair accessible vehicles, taxis and motorbikes.</p><p> </p><p>Once purchased, EV owners benefit from lower operational and maintenance costs including favourable taxation policies.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also committed to ensuring EV charging remains affordable for all EV drivers. Most EV drivers charge overnight at home where they can access cheap and flexible tariffs. This is a trend that the Government expects will continue. The Government continues to support and encourage innovations to ensure that EV drivers, who do not have their own home chargers, can benefit from cheaper domestic electricity tariffs, such as cable gulleys and peer-to-peer charging schemes allowing owners to rent out their home chargepoints.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/03/2023 16:30:35 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
