The industry says the move would disrupt supply chains and slow the transition to greener cars.
Britain’s prime minister Rishi Sunak said he would push back the ban by five years to 2035.
Automakers, which had already made key investment decisions in line with the 2030 target — brought forward three years ago from an earlier 2035 target — called for more policy certainty and less confusion. The car industry has also bemoaned the lack of clarity over the government’s zero emission vehicles rules, which calls for an increasing proportion of a manufacturer’s sales to be ZEVs in the run up to the ban.
“This delay will also put investment in EV infrastructure at risk, not to mention the wider market including battery, solar and green energy initiatives,” said Adrian Keen, the chief executive of public charging network InstaVolt.
