Obviously… Since the original announcement for the ban, they would have been planning for that… only for the wank stain of a government to do a uturn and delay it. I bet Ford have pissed a load of money up the wall trying to get inline with the timelines only for them to be slackened.
The statement is nothing but a dead cat to deflect from the heat pump scam that is coming. The UK has no buying power, so cannot dictate standards anymore. They can control standards within their own market, but for international products like cars they have very little say. The EU will be the ones to decide this one. If the EU pulls the plugs on petrol engines in 2030, then no one will build petrol engine for the European market. Building for just the UK will become very expensive.
This is aside from the fact that the Tories have very little time left in office. The Express posted this. Being a Tory mouthpiece, the Express sees this as something to whip Labour with. It is just a clown show.
I’ve been considering a heat pump for a while, could you provide more information about this scam? I’ve tried googling around, but a lot of the articles are light on details, and the video suggestions seem… disreputable to be polite.
If you’ve got articles to explain the issue to hand, that’d be helpful, but even a light explanation as to why they’re bad or not up to the task would be helpful
Being the first to introduce the ban by 5 years has driven a lot of zero carbon transport investment to the UK. If it changes to the same as the EU, then why not set up there. Can totally understand why Ford UK is pissed, it wont be around much longer now as Ford focus investment in Germany.

Heat pump scam?
Has anyone slammed the scam?
Not sure, but I hope so!
Wonder if it was Suzi Quatro.

The scam is in the funding not about the heat pumps themselves.
The EU is big enough and rich enough that someone will build cars for them.
