flag UK EV sales stall at 20% market share, with automakers cutting investments due to poor adoption and weak charging infrastructure, despite the 2030 ban on new petrol cars.

flag Electric vehicle sales in the UK have stalled, with only a 0.1% increase in January and EVs capturing just 20% of the market, far below government targets. flag Automakers including Stellantis, GM, and Volkswagen report major losses, prompting cuts to EV investments and a return to petrol and diesel models. flag Charging infrastructure remains inadequate, with only 13,500 new chargers installed in 2025. flag Despite this, the government maintains its 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars, though it has quietly adjusted the 2035 target to 90% zero-emission vehicles. flag Labour faces criticism for not leading by example, as government departments have made minimal use of EVs in their fleets, while industry leaders warn that pressing ahead could trigger a motoring crisis.
