The new 2035 date for the petrol and diesel new car sales ban aligns with bans in other major global markets in Europe and the EU.<\/p>\n<p>The UK Government\u2019s formerly more ambitious plan to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 &#8211; five years before the similar ban is due to take effect across Europe &#8211; was introduced by Boris Johnson in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--Yxc_fqKo--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1688654762\/autoexpress\/2023\/07\/Best%20electric%20cars%20header%20image%20-%20July%202023.jpg\">Best electric cars to buy 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The policy rollback is a bitter pill for the UK motor industry, which has been working towards the ICE ban and the threat of a zero emissions mandate, which would create financial penalties for car makers failing to meet government sales targets for zero-emission vehicles. On Tuesday at the Electrified conference held by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) in London, the organisation&#x27;s chief executive and other industry leaders expressed support for the 2030 ban, and called for more detail on the mandate which is still currently slated to be enforced from January next year.<\/p>\n<p>Net zero is the target for the UK to be neutral in terms of the harmful greenhouse gas emissions it adds to the atmosphere &#8211; effectively taking out as many emissions of gasses like CO2 as it put in. The ban on the sale of new ICE cars is a central pillar of this along with measures to phase out gas boilers in homes, but the gas boiler plans have been rolled back too. While there\u2019s a pledge of new incentives to support domestic boiler upgrades, there\u2019s no mention of any incentives to support EV sales.<\/p>\n<p>While uptake of new electric cars has been strong among fleet users, EV purchases by private drivers are flat-lining. Doubts remain concerning their affordability and the charging infrastructure needed to support them as mass adoption gathers pace. The UK is the only major European market that is currently offering no government incentives to support EV sales, which nevertheless accounted for just over 20 percent of the car market in August 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The change to the pace of the government\u2019s strategy on the internal combustion ban is highly controversial, even within the Tory party where many high profile MPs support swift action on climate.<\/p>\n<p>Ford UK Chair, Lisa Brankin, released a statement echoing the concerns of the car industry regarding the move. It says that that: &quot;Ford has announced a global $50 billion commitment to electrification, launching nine electric vehicles by 2025. The range is supported by \u00a3430 million invested in Ford\u2019s UK development and manufacturing facilities, with further funding planned for the 2030 timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Our business needs three things from the UK government: ambition, commitment and consistency.\u00a0 A relaxation of 2030 would undermine all three.\u00a0 We need the policy focus trained on bolstering the EV market in the short term and supporting consumers while headwinds are strong: infrastructure remains immature, tariffs loom and cost-of-living is high.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2ndlamRb--\/v1683626472\/assets\/partners\/powered-by-motorway_150x70.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" class=\"imgHideOnJavaScriptDisabled_4059a816lms0mw19 polaris__image\" height=\"20\" src=\"\/public\/trustpilot-icon.png\"><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do you think pushing back the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars was right?
