OLEV was told that more resource needed to be put behind information campaigns so that misconceptions around electric vehicles could be corrected.

Delegates said that vehicle manufacturers needed encouragement to put a more comprehensive package of measures behind their ultra-low emission vehicles to support early adopters and ensure that there is a healthy second-hand market for plug-in cars and vans.

“Fleet take-up of ultra-low emission vehicles will be a marathon, not a sprint,” said BVRLA Chief Executive, Gerry Keaney.

“With their expertise and buying power, BVRLA members can play a key role in driving this change, provided the government creates the right policy and tax environment.”
