Early engagement notice - Understanding the tail of the electric vehicle transition

Tender description

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is an independent, statutory body established under the Climate Change Act 2008. Our purpose is to advise the UK and devolved governments on emissions targets and to report to Parliament on progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for and adapting to the impacts of climate change. Part of the CCC's role is to advise the Government on the appropriate level for each carbon budget - a cap on the amount of greenhouse gases emitted in the UK over a five-year period. The budgets describe the cost-effective pathway to achieving the UK's long-term climate change objectives. They take account of economic, social and technological factors. We are about to start our work programme for the Seventh Carbon Budget (the period from 2038-2042). As part of this we would like to explore the impacts, delivery challenges and opportunities that are likely at the tail end of the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). *** See supporting documentation for further details ***
