Drivers fear we'll never be ready for electric revolution

MANY drivers want the "nonsensical" ban on new petrol and diesel cars to be ditched entirely, according to campaigners

FairFuelUK's Howard Cox said the policy was "ill thought out" and there were not enough public charging points for it to work.

He was speaking after Rishi Sunak extended the date for the ban on new diesel and petrol cars from 2030 to 2035.

Mr Cox warned Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer that if he won the next election he should not reinstate the 2030 target as it would show he was not "in touch with fiscal common sense and the grass roots of this nation".

He also claimed the PM knew the 2030 ban would "cost him the 2024 election".
