Transport remains the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. In 2023, it accounted for around 29% of total emissions, with cars and taxis responsible for more than half of that figure. For any Net Zero pathway to be credible, emissions from personal transport must fall sharply.

Electric vehicles offer a clear break from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles by removing exhaust emissions entirely. Yet cutting emissions at a national level is not as simple as replacing one type of vehicle with another. The impact of EVs is tied to a wider system – how electricity is generated, how vehicles are charged and how well the supporting infrastructure keeps pace with demand.
