UK Softens the ZEV Mandate

Hope for petrolheads? Or too little, too late?

So then – the UK Government did blink. Slightly. If you’ve been following the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate saga, you’ll know that the government has been under pressure from both industry and motorists. And now, as of 9 April 2025, they’ve announced a set of updates that – while not exactly revolutionary – do soften the blow. A bit. Kind of. Maybe.

But let’s be clear – they haven’t scrapped the ZEV Mandate. That was never really on the cards. However, these changes might just buy a little more time for carmakers, dealers, and drivers who aren’t quite ready to go fully electric. Let’s break it down.

Have you ever watched a slow-motion crash? That agonising moment where you can see exactly what’s about to happen, but there’s no stopping it? That’s Stellantis right now—an automotive behemoth with a brand portfolio so vast it should be unstoppable.

Tesla Sales COLLAPSE

Is Musk to Blame?

Tesla, once the rockstar of the electric vehicle (EV) world, is now facing a spectacular nosedive in sales. From being the cool kid that made EVs sexy, to becoming the awkward uncle at the family barbecue who won’t stop ranting about MAGA — January 2025 has been a brutal wake-up call. In just a month, Tesla has gone from the top two spots of the UK sales charts in December 2024 to completely vanishing from the top ten in January.
