answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2023 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> </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 printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 13/12/2023 17:25:34 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
