Transport Minister John Hayes says that active government support for low emission transport will improve air quality and encourage a successful industry. He says that the plan is that by 2040 all new cars and vans sold in this country will produce no exhaust emissions. “Charging an electric car should be as easy as filling up with petrol or diesel.” He points out that the UK’s low emissions vehicles industry is a huge success and a strength in our economy. Rather like the situation with rail electrification, Hayes does not mention how the increased electricity supply required would be delivered.
