British electric vehicle purchase subsidy is being considered

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly is considering subsidizing subsidies of up to £6,000 to help owners of diesel or gasoline vehicles switch to electric vehicles.

According to reports, on July 6 (local time), Prime Minister Johnson announced an economic recovery policy, including relief for the UK auto market affected by COVID-19 control. The UK is trying to ban the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines by 2032. A certain percentage of the cars sold up to this point should be handled by electric vehicles. Electric vehicles generally have a shorter range than internal combustion engine vehicles, so even if driving costs are low, they may seldom be accepted by consumers who value initial cost. The payment of subsidies can serve as an opportunity for such consumers to consider purchasing electric vehicles.

To supply electric vehicles, it is necessary to increase the number of charging stations installed. In addition to simply subsidizing the purchase of electric vehicles, there is a need to prepare charging facilities without worrying about running out of batteries anytime, anywhere. If the UK’s policy results in an economic recovery based on automobiles and promotes the transition to electric vehicles, there is a possibility that other countries will implement similar policies.
