🚗⚡ Electric Cars Drive UK Auto Industry’s Biggest Growth Opportunity!

🔋Today’s Electric Vehicle (EV) stats from New Automotive highlight a breakthrough month for the UK EV market delivering the highest battery electric vehicle (BEV) market share of the year, with 26% of all new cars sold fully electric.

🔌 Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers who are able to rely on at-home charging have already been benefitting from lower running costs compared to petrol vehicles, but new analysis from The Times now shows that drivers relying solely on public charging are also saving money.

⏰ Yesterday’s ‘Houses of Carliament’ event for our Large Vehicle Levy was a great success, with strong engagement from MPs and fellow advocates.

💰 The proposed levy aims to generate approximately £2 bill annually by ensuring heavier vehicles pay their fair share of road taxes.

Thank you so much for joining us to discuss the issues, and our large vehicle levy ahead of the Autumn Budget.

#housesofcarliament
Great to visit the car dealership stunt at Parliament today by @transenvuk.bsky.social and @olord.bsky.social showing clearly just how huge and heavy cars have become making the case for fair tax by vehicle weight.

We're here at Westminster today for our 'Houses of Carliament' to demonstrate how cars are consistently getting bigger and heavier - drop by to discuss our solution of a large vehicle levy.
October 28, 2025 at 11:43 AM
📅 Join us tomorrow at the ‘Houses of Carliament’ from 11am at Old Palace Yard, Westminster, to experience first-hand the pressing issue of increasing vehicle size & our proposed solution: the Large Vehicle Levy.

🫂 We welcome you to drop in for a conversation. It's time for tax fairness on UK roads

⏰ Today the Transport Secretary launched a "swift and robust” review to fast-track Heathrow expansion cutting the process timeline by 3 years.

⁉️ But here’s the real question:
Where’s the clarity on how Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will be produced at scale in the UK?

'Smoke screen: the growing PHEV emissions scandal' part 2:

💸 On average, running a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) costs drivers over £650 more every year than driving an equivalent fully electric vehicle (BEV).
October 20, 2025 at 8:44 AM
🚨 New data shows plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are far dirtier than claimed.

📑 With the #Dieselgate trial unfolding this week, fresh evidence suggests plug‑in hybrids (PHEVs) could be the next big deception.

Full 'Smoke Screen' report below.👇

🚨 #Dieselgate trial opens this week – the biggest group action in UK history and a major test of carmaker accountability across Europe!

🔎 What’s happening?
10 years ago, the car industry was caught red-handed cheating emissions tests with defeat devices.

Latest: Indonesia launches a probe into POME exports following concerns over fraud.

Earlier this year T&E published data showing Indonesia was exporting more POME (a palm oil byproduct) to the EU than it could realistically collect - a major sign of fraud.

The U.K. isn’t using its tax regime to disincentivise SUV purchases.

A UK driver pays just £3200 acquisition tax on an £85k car, compared to *£66k* in France!!

As a result, 4x as many are sold here in the U.K. than France.

Interesting policy suggestion from @transenvuk.bsky.social - Large Vehicle Levy, where cars are charged £10 per kg over 1600kg in weight (with a 400kg allowance for EVs).

Suggest it would raise £2 billion for the Treasury.

🚙💰 UK Forfeits almost £2bn by Remaining a Tax Haven for SUVs.

💡 The solution?

T&E UK proposes a simple weight-based levy, ensuring larger vehicles pay their fair share.
