Electric cars pose a potential threat to national security as they are vulnerable to Chinese spying, an official defence assessment by the Government's spy lab has warned.

Keir Starmer is preparing to rush through changes that water-down electric vehicle targets as soon as next week as carmakers brace for Donald Trump's tariffs – but carmakers warn the changes don't go far enough.

Keir Starmer is set to relax a planned 2030 ban on hybrid cars amid warnings that electric vehicle sales requirements are threatening the viability of the UK car industry.

As President Trump ends the rules and subsidies forcing unwanted electric cars on the American public, UK and European manufacturers are set to be crushed as their EV nightmare is just beginning.

U.K. electric vehicle sales are still way below target, says Paul Homewood. "If you wanted to destroy the U.K. car industry, while enriching Chinese and U.S. manufacturers, I cannot think of a better way to do it."

Some of Britain’s best-selling hybrid cars will be banned from sale after 2030 under a Net Zero crackdown proposed by Ministers, including the mild hybrid versions of the Ford Puma, Range Rover Evoque and VW Golf.

According to the calculations of Andrew English, the Telegraph's motoring correspondent, driving a Ford Mustang Mach-E is about twice as expensive as driving a Honda Civic.

Northvolt's ambitious battery dream has gone bust, says Sallust, and with it, Europe's hopes of competing with China in the EV market.

Motorists will "inevitably" end up paying per mile to drive on Britain’s roads as the switch to electric cars reduces fuel taxes, the Government’s infrastructure tsar has said.
