The SMMT reported a “record annual volume” of 382,000 battery electric vehicles sold in the UK last year. The automobile trade body had already warned in October that carmakers were at risk of missing government targets, with manufacturers facing government penalties of £15,000 (RM84,000) per polluting vehicle sold above the limits.
