On April 7, UK Prime Minister Starmer took decisive action to ease the quota system for electric vehicle sales, aiming to mitigate the adverse effects of US tariffs and safeguard the local automotive industry. As per the announcement made by the UK Department for Transport, the newly formulated policy aims to provide automakers with an extended adaptation period in response to the upcoming ban on the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030. The specific measures entail extending the sales period for hybrid vehicles until 2035, relaxing the sales structure restrictions for automakers until 2030, and granting exemptions from the electric vehicle sales quota to smaller automakers.
