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
