Objectives

The Scottish Government is committed to the decarbonisation of transport and with demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) expected to grow rapidly, enabling people to switch to zero emission vehicles will require ready access to convenient and reliable EV charging infrastructure.

The objective of these proposals is to introduce yearly mandated sales targets for new zero emission cars and vans for vehicle manufacturers to meet, ramping up to 80% of new cars, and 70% of new vans, by 2030, and introduce non-ZEV CO2 emissions regulations for all new non-ZEV cars and vans sold.
