Electric vehicle sales targets could be cut after pressure from car makers

The government is reviewing its EV sales mandate and may cut the 2030 target from 80% to as low as 50% (or give manufacturers more time to meet 80%).
Car makers welcome the rethink, saying current targets are costly and hard to meet — EVs already make up about a quarter of UK sales.
Environmental groups warn watering down the mandate would undermine climate goals and could mean millions fewer EVs on UK roads by 2035.
