Policy U - turn could stall Britain take - up of electric vehicles

Britain's government has reportedly reversed a policy position on electric and low-emission vehicles. The change could slow consumer uptake of EVs in the UK.

WHY IT MATTERS

Slower EV adoption leaves more demand for internal-combustion fuels in the near term, with little direct effect on feed commodity prices.
