The much anticipated Renault 5, its Alpine A290 twin, and from-£14,995 Dacia Spring will arrive this year
Renault UK believes success for a fast-expanding range of new EV models over the next nine months can protect it from severe fines likely to be incurred by some of its biggest rivals, who seem likely to fail in efforts to comply with the government’s new ZEV Mandate on electric car sales introduced this year. According to Guillaume Sicard, general manager of Renault UK, his three marques have five “exciting new EV products” to sell here within the next nine months.
The mandate’s introduction occurs against a background of declining buyer enthusiasm for EVs, and is most acute among private buyers who don’t enjoy the benefit-in-kind tax advantages of business buyers. Total UK EV sales are currently running at around 17%, and are barely expanding, with private demand well below 10%. The mandate — along with the withdrawal incentives for private EV buyers — has already attracted stinging criticism from industry leaders.
