The UK is preparing to lower its electric car target

The UK government is considering lowering its 2030 electric vehicle sales target from 80% to 60% of new car sales, following pressure from automakers. No final decision has been made, but the potential change signals a softening of the country's flagship EV mandate. The move matters because it could affect charging infrastructure investment and export flows from countries such as Turkey, which supplies vehicles to the UK market. Watch for a formal government announcement confirming the revised target and how automakers and charging operators respond.
