3 Minute Read Green peace, along with many other organisations, have been campaigning against polluting vehicles for nearly three decades, making the 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars a long time coming. Originally the government committed to phasing out new petrol and diesel cars by 2040, but they have now brought back the timeline by 10 years. Changing the phase out deadline will significantly reduce climate-wrecking emissions, and also help to clean up toxic air pollution and cut carbon emissions on our streets. The ban also hopes to create thousands more jobs in the electric car industry.
The switch to more eco-friendly cars will be more appealing to drivers if they are confident that there are enough electric car charging points available, highlighting the need for EV charging points and EV charging canopies.
What Is The 2030 Ban On Petrol and Diesel Cars?
The petrol and diesel ban set to come into place in 2030 will see a government ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, with the sale of hybrids being outlawed from 2035. The 2030 Legislation Net-Zero is part of the PM’s 10-point plan for ‘green industrial revolution’, and looks to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles and reduce carbon emissions, in hopes of tackling climate change. The petrol and diesel car ban is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve local air quality with less diesel vehicles producing higher levels of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, which have been linked to increased risk of respiratory illnesses, lung cancer, heart disease and many other conditions.
Why Do We Need Electric Vehicle Charging Canopies?
With this push for electrical cars comes the increasing need for EV charging points, and installing EV charging canopies is a great addition for a number of businesses. They provide a sheltered area surrounding the charging points, allowing those charging up their vehicles to stay safe and sheltered from the harsh elements. They also help to identify electrical vehicle charging stations and provide potential advertising opportunities.
