As of Friday 5 July 2024, it was confirmed to the people of the UK that we are now to have a Labour Government. Under the leadership of Sir Keir Starmer, the new Government will be looking to make major changes to the way in which our political and economical direction is moving. As reported in the BBC a number of key messages were confirmed, including environmental changes. These include:
The Labour Government were very EV-specific in the build up to the election, unlike many of the other parties . Jonathan Reynolds, the Shadow Secretary of State, seemingly recognises the importance of the automotive industry for Britain.
In particular, there is a recognition of change, as the “world pivots” towards electric vehicle technology and zero-carbon transport. There is a suggestion that the Labour team will ensure that our nation has the home-grown energy to fuel our vehicles, the availability of charge points to carry this out and consumer confidence to bring this all together.
Mr Reynolds believes that 80,000 more high-skilled jobs will be created from these actions. But there are other improvements set to be introduced, with a focus on motor insurance costs and more standardisation for the 2nd hand electric car market.
Confidence is massively important for the success of the used electric car market. With companies like e-car now launching used-electric car leasing deals, we need to ensure that personal and business customers are provided with sufficient information to make a detailed and informed decision.
Labour are planning to launch an “Electric Vehicle Confident” system which will address carbon footprints, battery usage relative to an ICE alternative, real-life range and the life of the battery. As identified in their overview over 80% of cars sold in the UK are used, which is why this is so key.
A new battery health certification scheme will be implemented to standardise battery health analysis and ensure degradation and performance are more properly understood. For new cars to be offered at competitive rates for PCP or contract hire, there needs to be strong underlying residual values.
Prices at auctions are key to the leasing deals many new car customers enjoy. And if the Government do get it right then we are very much inline for a more successful electric car journey.
Vehicles like the Lexus shown here are going to be integral to the new and used electric car leasing industry. Known for their power, efficiency and luxury, the Lexus brand are aiming to bring complete refinement to the EV market. Four key specification models will be offered to the UK including:
