MANUFACTURER PERFORMANCE VS ZEV MANDATE TARGETS

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive overview of how various car manufacturers are performing against the UK's 2024 Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) mandate. The presenter breaks down manufacturers into three tiers: those exceeding targets, those near the target, and those significantly struggling, highlighting the substantial £15,000 fine per vehicle for non-compliance. Key takeaways include Tesla and BYD leading the pack, while legacy manufacturers face challenges due to their large volumes of internal combustion engine vehicles. The presenter expresses surprise at BMW's strong performance and Nissan's struggles despite early EV adoption. The video also touches upon the broader issues of EV adoption, infrastructure, and government policy, suggesting that improved education and infrastructure would be more effective than subsidies or a relaxed mandate. The presenter concludes by predicting potential end-of-year sales or discounts from manufacturers like Ford, VW, and Audi to meet targets.
