Cuts to VAT and VED could signal "direction of travel" for industry, according to VW Group's UK boss
The boss of Britain’s biggest car company has called for incentives for private buyers of electric cars to help stimulate demand. Alex Smith, managing director of Volkswagen Group, said that incentives were “eminently sensible” to help “signal that this is the direction of travel” towards electric cars as the UK car market readies to be solely EVs from 2035.
“Car manufacturers have a binding target for the proportion of zero emission vehicles that we sell. I think it would be useful to have binding targets for infrastructure rollout. “If you are providing an infrastructure for the national takeup of an environmentally beneficial product, then there's going to have to be some level of intervention to make sure there is a ubiquity to the charging infrastructure.
