The UK has gone & "out-greened" the EU! The ZEV (zero emission mandate) came into law here on the 3rd January 2024 whereas 22% of all new cars have to be electric which will rise incrementally to 80% of all new cars will need to be electric by 2030, That's just six years away.

It will affect motorcycles too. If you've got 20 minutes to spare have a look at this vid.

It's going to cost all auto manufacturers a fortune to sell new cars in the UK especially all the big Japanese brands as they're way behind on electrification apart from Nissan, Jaguar has the electric i-pace which is barely selling & will be discontinued in 2026 & Land Rover have zero electric vehicles.
