answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2024 answer text <p>The Government is committed to keeping the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) affordable for all consumers. Plug-in vehicle grants have been in place for over a decade to support the transition to EVs, and remain in place for harder to transition vehicles such as vans.</p><p> </p><p>The uptake of EVs continues to be supported through generous tax incentives. The 2022 Autumn Statement extended favourable benefit in kind tax rates for EVs out to April 2028, and EVs are either exempt or pay minimal Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) until 2025. From 2025, EVs will still have preferential first year rates of VED in comparison to the most polluting vehicles.</p><p> </p><p>To transform the availability of charging for drivers without off-street parking, the Government introduced the £381 million Local EV Infrastructure Fund. This will deliver tens of thousands of local chargepoints, ensuring the transition to EVs takes place in every part of the country. The Government also continues to provide funding for domestic and workplace chargepoints. This includes the recently announced grant for eligible households without off-street parking, to install a cross-pavement charging solution.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 21/03/2024 16:06:19 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne

Recently published independent research suggests an average saving of around £700 per year, with high mileage motorists benefitting the most.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside reductions in battery costs, the Government’s Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, by giving car manufacturers the confidence to invest, will help drive down the purchase cost of electric vehicles. Although estimates vary, some external commentators predict price parity between EVs and ICE cars will be reached in the late 2020s.</p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 15/01/2024 11:23:44 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne

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
