The government have messed up again. The biggest concern all new buyers are voicing is depreciation. People won’t accept losing 70% value in 3 years. The ONLY way to improve that value is to convince purchasers of 3 year old cars to buy electric. Without convincing these people the demand will always be insufficient and there’s no legislating for their choices. IF 2035 sees no more ICE on sale, these people will still have the ability to buy ICE until nearly 2040 if they relax on the age of car they buy.
Reassuring the public on servicing costs, reliability and trying to ensure that battery failures aren’t happening in their ownership times are the only realistic way to get the demand lifting.
