Is this the week the mask slipped off the UK’s zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate?
Explosive comments from the CEO of Vertu Motors, one Britain’s biggest car dealer groups, referenced the ZEV mandate as having created a “state-imposed supply chain”.
Robert Forrester said that car makers were holding back the supply of ICE cars until 2025 while trying to push buyers into electric cars.
The latest What Car? Target Price data has revealed that the average discount on a new EV is almost 10%, with the biggest discounters being Mazda (25% on average), Jeep (21%) and Audi (15%).
