An inquiry into EVs has been launched by the House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee.
The inquiry is aiming to understand how the UK Government will achieve its target of decarbonising vehicles in the UK, with a particular focus on cars, as well as explore the main barriers to doing so.
It will also seek to understand the costs, alongside the benefits, associated with the 2030 end date of sales of new petrol and diesel cars and vans in the UK, and government progress towards its deadlines, also including the 2035 date for ending hybrid sales.
Committee chair Baroness Kate Parminter said: "The rubber is now hitting the road - as we can't get to net zero without individuals making changes to our lives, how we travel and what we buy. Using EVs for passenger transport will be a part of that and the government has committed to ending the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030.
"We want to hear from the public about their experience of acquiring and using EVs in the UK, and the barriers to doing so. We also want to find out from industry, local authorities, and all others with an interest in decarbonising transport, what the government needs to do to encourage greater take up of EVs ahead of their 2030 and 2035 targets."
