New AutoMotive estimates that Ford could be 7,000 cars short of its ZEV target. With fines of £15,000 for every car short of the target that would leave it notionally with a bill of more than £100 million.
The law:
The United Kingdom's Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate requires car manufacturers to ensure that a specified percentage of their new vehicle sales are zero-emission vehicles, primarily electric vehicles (EVs).
Manufacturers must meet increasing annual targets for zero-emission vehicle sales. For instance, in 2024, 22% of a manufacturer's new car sales must be zero-emission vehicles. This target is set to rise progressively, reaching 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035

I like how the government's plan seems to be to force the auto company to bend consumer spending magically by force of will.
