answer text <p>The recent White Paper on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union sets out the UK’s proposal for a UK-EU free trade area, underpinned by a common rulebook on industrial goods. This covers all rules that set the requirements for placing a product on the market, including environmental requirements, as are necessary to provide for frictionless trade at the border. This would include the type approval system for all categories of motor vehicles and would ensure that the UK and the EU adhere to the same emission standards for cars, vans and heavy duty vehicles.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>As my Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State has previously said, when people are buying new cars they should think carefully about the type of car that suits their needs. For example, someone who is making short journeys, mostly in towns, might find an electric car better suited to their needs than a larger diesel car. It is our mission for all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040. Our recently published ‘Road to Zero’ strategy sets out the action Government will take to support this mission, as well as the steps we are taking to drive down emissions from conventional vehicles during the transition.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>National Grid published their 2018 Future Energy Scenarios on 12 July (<a href="http://fes.nationalgrid.com/media/1363/fes-interactive-version-final.pdf" target="_blank">http://fes.nationalgrid.com/media/1363/fes-interactive-version-final.pdf</a>), and previously produced a bespoke note on the electricity system impacts of electric vehicles (<a href="http://fes.nationalgrid.com/media/1264/ev-myth-buster-v032.pdf" target="_blank">http://fes.nationalgrid.com/media/1264/ev-myth-buster-v032.pdf</a>). The level of impact that National Grid presents is readily manageable by the electricity system. The Government is analysing these impacts, including in relation to costs, and has established an Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce in order to consider these issues.</p> more like this
