Interesting…from a consumer perspective, I feel the UK doesn’t have adequate infrastructure to support EV owners. It’s made me go back to petrol cars.
In 2024, the UK became the biggest EV market in Europe and now the data shows that manufacturers will not need to pay fines to comply with regulations.
The message is clear: the UK's zero emission vehicle regulation is working 👇

It is great to read mention of collaborative working between government, farmers and landowners. Understand the lived experiences from the experts to help design more realistic targets for all.
Today, the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) has released its 2024 progress report on England’s natural environment. 🏞️
The verdict? Government is still “largely off track” on meeting environmental targets.
Some key takeaways 👇🧵
