Britain is set to reach "peak petrol" in 2024, with gasoline-powered cars expected to decline from 18.7 million to 11.1 million by 2034, while electric vehicles (EVs) will rise from 1.25 million to 13.7 million. The EV market share is projected to increase from 18% this year to 23% in 2025, amid pressures from the government's Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate. Despite challenges, including high EV costs and industry concerns over job impacts, the government plans to support the transition with significant investments.
