UK specific petrol/diesel ban for new vehicles 2030

[landmannnn]

Just thinking out loud really.

The current UK government have doubled down on no new petrol or diesel cars and vans from 2030. So only EVs or hybrids.

So while the current government will be out in 2029 and the replacement will overturn this immediately I suspect.. What if not?

- The IG as is cannot be sold, no dealer network will exist
- Servicing, warranty and repair may be a challenge with no dealers
- Can IA produce a hybrid version?
- Can the IG run on efuel, if that is to be exempted
- Used values will soar for certain

Just rambling really.

I expect this will be dropped. EV sales are not where the government hoped. And we’ll likely have a new (more sensible) government before then.

Highly likely in fact.

I opted for diesel on the basis that trucks are a long way from being electrified.

Can they all be registered as commercials and bypass it that way?

Mine is N1 commercial with every extra bar the winch. (Which I now regret not opting for)

Currently vans are in the ban, not hgvs of course.

life is too short to worry about this and there is nothing we can do to change what happens

Could always import one until they plug that loophole.
