GB News: Tesla pushed for Labour to make petrol drivers pay more and toughen electric car targets
Tesla has urged the UK Government to impose higher costs on petrol car buyers while advocating for stricter environmental regulations. The company proposed that subsidies for electric vehicles be funded through increased taxes on fossil fuel vehicles, arguing that this approach should be revenue-neutral.
Tesla's lobbying aligns with its goal of strengthening the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, which requires carmakers to meet specific electric vehicle sales targets. The company stands to benefit from this mandate by selling surplus credits from its electric vehicles, despite facing opposition from other UK car manufacturers.
