The 2030 target for 80% of new cars to have zero emissions could be cut to as low as half Electric cars make people happy. More than nine in 10 EV drivers – 94% in a recent poll – are saving money, and a similar number would stick with electric for their next purchase, and recommend them to family and friends. Sales are soaring: more than half of the new cars sold in the UK last month were electric, if hybrids are taken into account, and about 28% of new car sales overall were electric only.

AI cloud computing firms face ‘guppy-level death’, Elon Musk warns; French bonds rally after avoiding downgrade – business live

If the investments that the PuFins make generate sufficient returns for the PuFins to repay their government loans, then long term debt sustainability is little affected.
