The evolution into net zero has a long way to go. The official line from the government is that hybrid vehicles that can travel considerable distance under EV power alone will be sold past the deadline. Will the Honda and Nissan system be allowed, where the petrol engine acts as a generator for the vehicle to be driven under EV power nearly constantly? One presumes these vehicles will be available past the deadline. Motability are not pushing customers into EV’s and PHEV’s and customers will continue to be mobile past the deadline. There really is a long way to go and no need to panic at this point.
Again they have not said how far, net zero at 2050 is along way off but 2030 is not really that far off.
I would imagine that it will need a good range of at least 25 miles on ev power alone.
So I doubt most self charging hybrids will able to be sold. Even cars with a generator powering ev mode imo won’t be allowed to be sold.
For a while you maybe able to drive them into cities or towns but ulez zones will expand and restrictions will get tighter and tighter on non full ev cars. Will you get a fine for using the ice engine in a phev inside a city, at some point i would think so.
Mb will have to only put people in phev or ev’s as that is the legislation and that day gets closer everyday.
That was not the purpose of the question though it was what are they doing to help those that cannot charge at home and will be hit the hardest by it all and will they be left behind.
