So as usual it all turns out to be smoke and mirrors.
In the Net Zero thread in Gen Chat we were talking about boiler manufacturers having quotas imposed on them by the government for numbers of heat pumps they will be required to sell and they will be fined £5000 for every unit under target.
Well, the car manufacturers also have a quota of EV's that they have to sell, and they will be fined £15,000 per unit under target!
Apparently by 2030 80% of their sales will have to be EV's, and despite Sunak's big announcement on Tuesday this still stands.
Soviet tractor factories spring to mind and I don't remember voting for Britain to become a planned/command economy!
