Policy drivers Inward Investment Air Quality Carbon Energy Security 4
Government s ambition Sales of new conventional cars and vans to end by 2040 and almost every car and van to be zero emission by 2050 Air Quality Plan, July 2017 One of the longest, most comprehensive packages of support in the world + 290m (+ tax incentives) 5
Key barriers we are tackling Upfront cost Technology development Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs) tend to cost more upfront than petrol or diesel equivalents due to the cost of battery or fuel cell technologies. However, prices are coming down as sales increase, and running cost savings from ULEVs can be substantial. Electric vehicle technology needs continued investment to accelerate performance improvements and prepare ULEVs for the mass market. Government research support encourages this technology development, and investment in the industry. Range and recharging Electric vehicles need new infrastructure and are a different proposition for drivers used to refuelling with petrol or diesel. Ongoing improvements in new ULEVs ranges, resulting from advances in battery technology, and improving refuelling and recharging infrastructure will help ease this transition. Public misconceptions Consumer concerns do not always reflect the reality of owning and driving ULEV. The Go Ultra Low campaign aims to address misconceptions. ULEVs registered Energy system The extra electricity demand from uptake of electric vehicles could require some increased generating capacity and upgrades to local electricity connections. Other vehicles Taxis and buses significantly impact on urban air quality, but have particular challenges for electrification. Freight must also be tackled. Supply of vehicles from manufacturers A regulatory framework helps encourage manufacturers to clean up their vehicles and bring ULEVs to market. 6

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles - Hydrogen Progress to date 5m for an initial network of 12 hydrogen refuelling stations most of which are now operational and publically accessible 2m support to enable both public and private sector fleets to become early adopters of FCEVs. Next steps A new 23m programme announced in March to support the development of the market until 2020. Expanding the network of hydrogen refuelling stations alongside the deployment of fuel cell vehicles. The programme will run over two phases, the second stage will be contingent on market developments and progress. Stage 1 will commit 9m to match fund up to 7 stations to be completed 2018/19, plus associated fleets Stage 2 will see 14m to fund up to 10 stations plus associated fleets The funding competition was launched on 17 August and will close on 16 October 11
