Early Bird tickets, saving £100, are available for the BVRLA’s Fleets in Charge Conference 2025, which will take place on Wednesday 2 July at the QEII Centre in London.

Several Government consultations are underway, with the BVRLA seeking member input to ensure that responses are fully representative of member views and outline the potential impacts on the sector. Three key consultations relating to decarbonisation are detailed below.

The popularity of company-provided electric vehicles saw the BVRLA’s leasing fleet grow 1.4% in the last 12 months, offsetting lower demand for vehicles on personal lease agreements and vans. The association’s latest Leasing Outlook report shows that salary sacrifice continues to drive growth in the sector, it is up 51% and sustaining the UK’s transition to cleaner, greener models. 

The long-awaited consultation into the terms and application of the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate has now been confirmed. It welcomes input from all stakeholders and the BVRLA will be actively involved in the process to represent members.

The BVRLA’s 2025 Fleets in Charge Conference is set to take place on Wednesday 2 July at the prestigious QEII Centre in London.

The BVRLA was in Parliament this week (Monday 16 December) to deliver over 100 handwritten Christmas cards to MPs – asking them to keep used EVs a focus for 2025.

The Department for Transport (DfT)’s chargepoint installation targets ‘appear achievable’, but greater consideration must be given to the location and accessibility of future installations. The findings form part of a report from the National Audit Office (NAO) that examines whether DfT is achieving value for money in the rollout of electric vehicle infrastructure.

‘Challenge’ was the word on everyone’s lips at last week’s Industry Outlook Conference. Featuring industry leaders sharing their insights on the challenges of 2024 and expectations for 2025, the conference included thought-provoking keynotes, dynamic panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions.

Deliveries of new cars fell by -2% in the UK during November, with 153,610 joining the road, according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). It is the second consecutive monthly decline, and the third decline in four months.

Heidi Alexander MP has been named as the new Secretary of State for Transport, after Louise Haigh MP stepped down last week.

MPs are being reminded of the importance of the used EV market, this festive season, with the BVRLA coordinating personal messages with the support of members.

Improving customer experience and holding charge point operators (CPOs) to a new standard of compliance are two key aspects of the Government’s Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, which came into effect this week (24 November).
