The UK government has announced a relaxation of electric vehicle (EV) sales targets to help the car industry in the face of trade tariffs from US President Donald Trump
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed a ban selling new petrol and diesel cars will still come into effect in 2030, but manufacturers will now have more flexibility on annual targets and face lower fines.
Trump has imposed a 25% tariff on cars imported to the US, which is a major export market for the UK motor industry.

Securing our fulture??? Read all party political slogans to see the delusions in politics over decades
Because they know they are not fit for purpose and petrol and diesel cars are much more reliable affordable and in a lot of cases safer and not setting on fire.
Not a good day for the communist totalitarian party . Ehh SirJimmy Stazi cover up man?
Starmlin's a complete knob , a habitual LIAR , he opens his robot mouth , the LIES come out ! The DWARF before him was identical , the other 3 uniparties are run and filled with utterly stupid plockers too , who do exactly the same ! Rachel from accounts hasn't got a Scoobydoo !
Realise there are very nefarious forces at work and voting will not change a thing , the root cause of 90% of the tripe we hear has Trillions to sway the mob !
😂😂😂 electric bombs get lost scummer
Well the final furnace at British Steel is about to go silent. The end of the empire that built the world. This is a face-saving move to preserve the symbol of Britain or what is left over. Who want to watch a weak royal family .
So he will now discriminate between car makers. He is still going impose 12000 on all new cars. Why does nobody point out that EV are no sue and this is an attempt to make cars unaffordable for ordinary folk. Why do voters not object in the ballot box?
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency fired car safety experts in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration who directly regulated Tesla
NHTSA is a US federal agency responsible for ensuring motor vehicle safety, setting fuel standards and enforcing regulations.
The layoffs made up 4% of the agency’s 800-person staff, including employees who were due for promotions and workers who had just been hired. The automation safety staff were disproportionately affected because the office had only been formed in 2023 and was predominately made up of probationary hires.
UK is becoming worthless , no one care about what the PM is saying or doing any more
Cost too much to charge an electric car we dont want them at all
They are missing the Point😩😩😩 , You Can Make up any ridiculous law you see fit , however its still our Money and '' WE BUY' what ever car we want & fits our lifestyles
Car Manufacturers will still be Fined and will still go Bankrupt
Phew. At least rich people wont have to pay muggle tax on their fancy rides. This has been keeping me up all night the last weeks.
I see some of the car companies are making e-bikes, realising that EV's cant compete on efficiency and resources VS a bicycle or scooter.
You must think we areall stupid that is not the reality its something they are using as an excuse because they messed up
We should back America ffs get this little wimp kier starmer out he’s not but a nimph covering up grooming gangs he needs covering in soil, poor Elon it’s embarrassing we wouldn’t be effected by tariffs if we whereby paying for hotels for immigrants this country is doomed
Who wants one?
The price of electric is through the roof 😊
The vast majority do not want EV’s .
still haven’t found a safe way to recycle the batteries 😏
Donald Dump is grifting the world with world market manipulation. Keep your tarrifs on UK, E.U.
Haaa all the luxury brands exempt because he just made his billionaore friends more billionaires and now they can treat themselves to famcy cars
Ban EVS! They cost too much, damage the roads, cause massive fires and the batteries arent actually recyclable
Ev sales down 70% year on year for all the world except uk as its subsidised at their expense to make the unaffordable seem affordable. All ev charger installers have liability papers so they arent liable for faults/ replacement on DC electrics. Full of cowboys in this wildwest
It’s simply not going to happen the sales will come to a halt

Andy Palmer you’ve had that one award on your window sill for 13 years 😂😂
Why are all the countries sucking up to this mad man? (DT) Isn't the first rule, "DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS"? Every country in the world needs to form alliances and leave the US to wallow in their own self inflicted mess. STOP ENABLING HIM! This is the same as the Arab Oil Crisis. You don't allow yourself to be blackmailed. You tighten your belts and you find alternate supplies.
Buy only british products
Buy only British products
I wonder what make/ model luxury car starmer will be "gifted"?
Trump tariffs war will start world war3
Perhaps give the infrastructure more funding, so it will be eaiser to swap to EVs?
Open up, reinstate the coal mines in the UK. The people of our great small Island nation are suffering with high fuel bills because of the "green" lies. China, India and the USA are burning coal and oil to keep the world economy alive. We in the UK are simply sitting back and thinking that turning off your fire will save the world. A load of bollocks!
The Uk car manufacturers making petrol and deisel vehicles need to say f off to the government regarding fines.
Nobody is behind you starmer you plastic flake of a politician , starmer out !
