🧵 Record-breaking day for Great Britain's electricity system! ⚡ 1/ On 22 April, we hit a new zero-carbon record, with zero-carbon sources providing 98.8% of our electricity.

It was a worthwhile meeting for all of the Associations, with a key takeaway being that from the choice ofname to the implementation, eVED was not well received, well thought through, or even fully considered against many other policy goals across the UK.
Earlier this week we met with officials from HM Treasury who are leading the Government's eVED consultation. We shared our analysis of the pay-per-mile proposals and discussed the cross-border driving issues unique to Northern Ireland... evani.uk/taxing-electric-car… #EVANI

The good old Daily Mail - claiming EVs deliver “no proven carbon savings” in the UK is seriously misleading. What the article actually cites is an argument about national accounting visibility — not evidence that EVs emit as much CO₂ as petrol cars. That’s a huge difference. “Hard to isolate in aggregate data” ≠ “no savings exist.” The UK grid has rapidly decarbonised over the past decade. Coal is virtually gone. Renewables low-carbon power now dominate. That means UK EVs get cleaner every year they’re driven. Petrol cars don’t. Extensive lifecycle research — including analysis reflected by the UK’s Climate Change Committee and global assessments from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — shows EVs typically produce substantially lower total emissions than equivalent petrol/diesel cars in countries like the UK. The Mail article doesn’t show evidence that a typical UK EV has equal lifetime emissions to a petrol car — because most peer-reviewed studies show the opposite. It reframes uncertainty about measurement scale as proof of “no benefit.” That’s not how evidence works. Are EVs perfect? No. Battery production and supply chains matter. Grid mix matters. Policy design matters. But claiming “no proven carbon savings” contradicts the broader body of lifecycle science. Debate policy by all means — just don’t let a headline blur the underlying evidence. #EVs #ClimateFacts

While we can agree that EVs should pay VED, an intelligent phased transition with EVs paying less than all Dino juice burners is key. Maybe a different set of increments based on weight, encouraging different battery sizes and vehicle design? transportgovuk @heidi_labour

The Energy Saving Trust have a survey on booking charge points. Make your voice heard. “Energy Saving Trust wants to get your thoughts on the direction of electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint technology and how useful chargepoint booking systems are.

In November, 1 in 4 of all new cars sold in the UK were fully electric (BEV), up 58% vs last year. The strong demand for BEV is evident and the widespread adoption of Salary Sacrifice Schemes is helping make these cars affordable. The used BEV market is growing rapidly too.

6007 commissioned point on record today with more to come. As always we highlighted the need for equitable charging for those without off street parking. Work on going with SCOTS scotsnet.org.uk/about to achieve standards and policy including cable gulleys and other tech.
Today @ScotGovFM celebrated reaching our target of installing more than 6,000 public #EV charge points - two years early! @FionaHyslop says the £30m @scotgov EV Infrastructure Fund is enabling continued expansion and faster delivery. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/3AoTqyo
