Analysis: UK’s EV drivers are now saving £1,100 each a year – and £3bn in total
UK EV drivers save £1,100 annually on fuel costs compared to petrol cars, with total savings of £3bn yearly from over 2m battery EVs, 1m plug-in hybrids, and 100,000 electric vans. The government may weaken EV sales targets, aiming to lower the 2030 zero-emissions vehicle mandate from 80% to 50-70% amid industry lobbying.
