Conservatives Plan to Scrap UK's Petrol & Diesel Car Ban
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
The Conservative Party in the UK plans to scrap the ban on new petrol and diesel cars, citing concerns about industrial competitiveness and the desire for a transition to cleaner transport driven by affordability and practicality. Kemi Badenoch, a prominent Conservative leader, argues that pressing ahead alone would disadvantage the domestic industry and allow other nations, particularly China, to dominate global supply chains. The UK government has also invested in the Electric Car Grant scheme but plans to introduce a charge for electric vehicle excise duty, potentially making electric cars less appealing. The next UK general election must be held by August fifteenth, two thousand and twenty-nine.
