Following the news that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is pushing back the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars to 2035, Patrick Reich, CEO and co-founder of Bonnet, Europe’s largest EV charge point aggregator, said:

“It would be very disappointing to see the UK lower its ambition just as businesses are investing huge sums and consumers beginning to switch in great numbers to electric vehicles. The mixed messaging from the government is very unhelpful for all and risks pushing global investors away from the UK… We remain committed to making the journey to EVs as easy as possible for drivers across Europe.”
