New petrol and diesel cars and vans will not be sold in the UK from 2030, ten years earlier than planned, Boris Johnson announced today (November 18). Plus hybrid cars and vans to be banned in 2035.
The prime minister also has accelerated the rollout of charge points for electric vehicles in homes, streets and on motorways with a £1.3 billion fund.
£528m in grant funding will also be made available to help make EVs cheaper and a further 500m will also be spent on development and production of EV batteries.
