<p>The Government recognises that a whole package of measures is needed to support
the switch to zero emission driving.</p><p>HM Treasury has ensured that EVs continue
to benefit from a favourable tax regime. There are now over a million plug-in vehicles
on UK roads, the majority of which are exempt or pay minimal VED. From 2025, electric
vehicles will still have preferential first year rates of VED in comparison to the
most polluting vehicles. There are also preferential rates of company car tax for
EVs out to April 2028. These measures will continue to support the uptake of electric
vehicles.</p><p>Ministers across government departments continue to collaborate on
the implementation of the Net Zero Strategy. In the Strategy, the Government announced
that it will introduce a zero emission vehicle mandate, setting targets for a percentage
of manufacturers' new car and van sales to be zero emission each year from 2024. The
Government will shortly publish more details on the design of the ZEV mandate, including
uptake trajectories, and accompanying CO2 emissions regulation.</p>
