The adoption of a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate for new cars and vans was confirmed in the Government\u2019s Net Zero Strategy in October 2021, following a public consultation that launched in July 2021. In April 2022 we consulted on its policy design features to engage further on the future regulation, and a third and final consultation outlining our final full proposal is due to be published soon. These proposals will be subject to consultation, where the Department will take stakeholder views into consideration before bringing forward the legislation to enter into force next year.<\/p>

The Chancellor meets regularly with his Cabinet colleagues on a range of issues.<\/p>
<\/p>
The EV transition continues at pace, with new electric car registrations increasing by 76% in 2021 compared to 2020, and sales of used pure electric cars reaching a record high. The success of this transition in normalising EVs on our roads means that it\u2019s right to begin to bring electric vehicles into the motoring tax system, ensuring that all motorists start to pay a fairer tax contribution.<\/p>
<\/p>
Leveraging VED on EVs is not expected to significantly impact purchasing decisions.

The Department for Transport works closely with Crown Commercial Services, which have multiple procurement frameworks to help public bodies buy goods and services, including on electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. The frameworks are used by government fleets, local authorities and the wider public sector to support the transition to zero emission vehicles and help meet our net zero goals.<\/p>
