Vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, charge point operators, dealers, consumers and communities are being asked for their views on the pathway to ending sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 and ensuring all new cars and vans are zero emission by 2035, as the government today (14 August 2026) launches a consultation on the zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate.
3. EV TIP: WATCH YOUR SPEED
Watch your speed in built up areas! The unexpectedly rapid acceleration and the silence can leave you 'way above the limit before you notice.
4. EV VIDEO: BBC I-PLAYER
At a time of heightened geopolitical conflict and uncertainty, soaring fuel costs are driving up demand for electric vehicles around the world. Chinese EV's are leading the way. In the span of a decade, China's electric vehicles sector has gone from fledgling industry to automotive powerhouse, challenging some the world's top automakers on their home ground. We examine how China transformed into the world's leading manufacturer of green energy cars, from innovations in battery technology to the concept of a smartphone on wheels, and ultimately what lies ahead for the future of transportation.

MG4 EV URBAN
MG4 EV Urban. Up to 258 miles* of WLTP range from the 53.9kWh battery means you’re free from having to check the percentage every five minutes. A heat pump comes as standard so winter doesn't ruin your range the moment temperatures drop. And when you do need to charge, 10–80% takes just 28 minutes.

6. EV TECH: SKYWELL
Most people are way past seeing EVs as a niche alternative. EVs represent one of the most advanced forms of transport available, as they combine cutting-edge technology, lower running costs, and a completely different driving experience compared to ICE vehicles. But what actually makes an electric car different? What features should you expect? And how do those features translate into everyday driving? In this guide, we break down the key electric car features, how they compare with petrol and diesel vehicles, and how models like the Skywell BE11 bring them together into a practical, real-world electric driving experience.
Until next time. Have a fantastic week!
