Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 February 2026

Debate

Electric Vehicles: Transition

Contribution

My Lords, the Minister will be aware that there is resistance among those living in rural communities to switching from petrol and diesel vehicles to electric vehicles. What was the rationale behind introducing pay per mile? What assessment has been made of the impact that it will have in rural areas? Will the Government postpone it until after 2030 to ensure that more people will purchase EVs in rural areas?
