Great to see this - Clean Growth Fund investing people's pension savings in climate solutions! This is what a modern mission-driven industrial strategy looks like. cleangrowthfund.com/news/clean-gro…
NEW from @ember_energy | India's 🇮🇳 EV transition already has massive emissions reduction potential. 🚗 Emissions for electric vehicles are up to 55% lower than their ICE counterparts (current grid mix) ☀️ Clean power coming online can cut emissions by a further 18-27% by 2032
The Nature Minister meets Nature! @MaryCreagh_ briefly thrown out of her stride at @CommonsEAC when a mouse intrudes during the Minister's contribution!

Great to see such positive coverage of our latest update on the UK's transition to EVs from @New_AutoMotive gbnews.com/lifestyle/cars…
UK EV registrations just had their best ever start to the year! Up by 34% on January 2024, and just a few percentage points under where they need to be for ZEV mandate compliance already. Find out more and get the full market report at newautomotive.org/ecc
Great to see this research from @IPPR. By the end of the Parliament, there'll be over 5m EV drivers & the experience of EV drivers will be an important political issue. This is why it is so important for govt to get it right on charging and electricity costs.

Signed Britain’s first Deposit Return Scheme into law today! We are cleaning up the Tories’ mess and ending the throwaway society!
EVs just had a record-breaking month in the UK - first the first time, battery electric cars were the most popular fuel type, accounting for 31% of new car registrations. Our @New_AutoMotive market bulletin will be out on Monday - make sure get it at newautomotive.org/ecc
This is fantastic progress (and the kind that was written off by doomsters in the past as 'impossible'). The focus of climate policy must inreasingly shift from power sector transition to using electricity to displace other fossil fuels. theguardian.com/environment/20…
A great summary of the issues facing the automotive industry right now. The echoes of the pandemic meet the rise of new Chinese brands. nytimes.com/2024/12/15/bus…
Despite recent headlines, today's data from @New_AutoMotive shows that electric vehicle targets are working, with one in four new cars sold in November being fully electric. @bennelmes discusses the recent developments and future of the targets: buff.ly/3OC2xPN

Sad news from Ford about job losses this week - I was on the BBC News at Six discussing the reasons for the challenges facing the European automotive industry. youtu.be/OKkSj0HJPhQ
With OEMs having met ministers this week to discuss a relaxation of the ZEV mandate, let’s remember the initial purpose of it; to prompt the production of more EVs and to ultimately push the prices of EVs down over the long-term. Whatever the outcome of discussions, this…
My two memories of John Prescott: I once sat in on a meeting between him and Bryony Worthington discussing climate change in the Lords. Later, in the 2017 GE campaign in W Yorks, on the stump for Labour. Few people could be so at home in both places. RIP. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
We're a year into the EV slowdown narrative. Where do things actually stand? Heading for just under 17 million EV sales this year, a new record. Growth rate will be about 20%, down from 33% the previous year.
