Major car manufacturers are expressing significant concerns over the UK's electric vehicle (EV) mandates, which they argue could jeopardize the automotive industry. The Vauxhall and Stellantis executives have specifically criticized the mandates as 'terrible,' warning that they could lead to a crisis in the sector. These mandates are part of the UK's broader net zero strategy, which aims to phase out petrol cars to reduce carbon emissions. However, the executives argue that this shift is being poorly managed and could result in severe repercussions for car manufacturers operating in the UK.
