UK director calls for three government interventions to meet 33% zero emission vehicle mandate
Ruben Pollard of Formula Space has outlined three policy priorities to accelerate UK fleet electrification as the market struggles to meet the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate's 33% target for 2026. Electric vehicles reached 25.6% of new car registrations in the first eight months of 2026, while the public charging network grew 10% year on year to 121,171 chargers. The article, published in a fleet and charging infrastructure context, argues government intervention is needed where commercial deployment falls short.

The gap between the 25.6% registration share and the 33% mandate signals potential regulatory risk and highlights where public sector support may unlock new site opportunities for CPOs.
