Will petrol cars be banned?

The UK government plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035. This policy aims to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles and meet climate goals. It means that after this date, only new electric or hybrid vehicles will be sold, though existing petrol cars can still be driven.
