<p>The Government is spending more than £600 million by 2020 to support the development,
manufacture and uptake of electric ultra low emission vehicles in the UK. This programme
includes grant incentives for motorists to purchases vehicles, and funding for the
installation of chargepoints at home and at work. Our aim is that all new cars and
vans should be zero emission by 2040. This will mean that almost all cars and vans
on our roads are zero emission by 2050.</p><p> </p><p>The tax system also supports
the transition to cleaner vehicles, for example pure electric vehicles are exempt
from Vehicle Excise Duty. At Autumn Statement 2015 the Chancellor confirmed that the
diesel supplement would be retained in company car tax until 2021. HM Treasury has
recently consulted on how company car tax can best incentivise ultra low emission
vehicles.</p>
