answer text: Earlier this month the Prime Minister announced a consultation on bringing forward the end to the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles to 2035, or earlier if a faster transition appears feasible, as well as including hybrids for the first time. This reflects the advice from the Committee on Climate Change – to make sure that the UK meets its net zero by 2050 commitments. As part of the consultation, we are asking what the accompanying package of support will need to be to enable the transition and minimise the impacts on consumers and businesses across the UK, building on the significant demand and supply side measures already in place. We plan to conclude the consultation in the summer. We are currently investing nearly £1.5bn‎ between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for electric cars, vans, lorries, buses, taxis and motorcycles, as well schemes to support charge point infrastructure at homes and workplaces and on residential streets.
