If you order a gas car today from certain U.K. dealers, you will take delivery next year even though it could be delivered sooner.
The U.K. government’s implementation of a zero-emissions vehicle mandate is motivating manufacturers to delay the delivery of ICE vehicles to meet EV quotas.
Robert Forrester articulated the dilemma stating, 'It's almost as if we can't supply the cars that people want, but we've got plenty of the cars that maybe they don't want.'
The annual target for 2024 is for at least 22% of all new cars sold to be electric, but the SMMT has already reduced the prediction to 18.5%.
