Bright Blue’s Senior Research Fellow, Patrick Hall, was quoted in Renewable Energy Magazine discussing the Government’s recently unveiled Transport Decarbonisation Plan.

The announcement has received a cautious welcome from independent think tank Bright Blue:
“The Government's commitment to electrify its fleet of 40,000 cars and vans is a laudable one” said Patrick Hall, Senior Research Fellow at Bright Blue. “As well as reducing emissions, this will have the added benefit of increasing the supply of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) into the second hand market, giving those on more modest incomes an opportunity to go electric. However, the Government needs to go further in helping those on more modest incomes, by introducing a Used Plug-in Car Grant for second hand ZEVs. It is imperative that the market for battery electric vehicles – both new and used – grows substantially over the next decade if the UK is to meet its legal net zero 2050 emissions target."
