Urhulumente uye wasisusa ngokusemthethweni isibonelelo se-£1,500 esasiyilelwe ekuqaleni ukunceda abaqhubi ukuba bafikelele kwiimoto zombane. ISibonelelo se-Plug-In Car (PICG) ekugqibeleni siye sacinywa kwiminyaka eli-11 emva kokwaziswa kwaso, iSebe lezoThutho (DfT) libanga ukuba “ligxile” ngoku “kukuphucula ukutshaja isithuthi sombane”.
Xa isikimu saziswa, abaqhubi banokufumana ukuya kwi-£ 5,000 kwiindleko zombane okanye i-plug-in hybrid vehicle. Njengoko ixesha lihamba, iskimu sahlaziywa kwaze kwaba yilapho kuncitshiswa ixabiso le-£ 1,500 kuphela kubathengi bezithuthi ezintsha zombane (EVs) ezibiza ngaphantsi kwe-£ 32,000.
Ngoku urhulumente ugqibe kwelokuba ayilahle ngokupheleleyo i-PICG, esithi le ntshukumo iphantsi “kwimpumelelo yotshintsho lwemoto yombane yase-UK”. Ngethuba le-PICG, i-DfT eyichaza njengomlinganiselo "wexeshana", urhulumente uthi uchithe i-£ 1.4 yezigidigidi kwaye "uxhase ukuthengwa kwezithuthi ezicocekileyo ezimalunga nesiqingatha sesigidi".
Nangona kunjalo, isibonelelo siya kuhlonishwa kwabo bathenge isithuthi kungekudala ngaphambi kokubhengezwa, kwaye i-£ 300 yezigidi zisafumaneka ukuxhasa abathengi beeteksi ezifakwe kwiiplagi, izithuthuthu, iiveni, iilori kunye nezithuthi ezihamba ngesitulo esinamavili. Kodwa i-DfT iyavuma ukuba ngoku iya kugxininisa utyalo-mali ekuhlawuleni iziseko zophuhliso, ezichaza "njengesithintelo" esibalulekileyo ekuthathweni kweemoto zombane.
"Urhulumente uyaqhubeka nokutyala imali erekhodiweyo kutshintsho oluya kwii-EVs, kunye ne-2.5 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi etofweyo ukusukela ngo-2020, kwaye ubeke eyona mihla ibalulekileyo yokuthengisa idizili kunye nepetroli kulo naliphi na ilizwe elikhulu," utshilo umphathiswa wezothutho uTrudy Harrison. “Kodwa inkxaso-mali karhulumente kufuneka isoloko ityaliwe apho inefuthe eliphezulu ukuba eli bali lempumelelo liza kuqhubeka.
“Emva kokuba siqalise ngempumelelo imarike yeemoto zombane, ngoku sifuna ukusebenzisa igranti yokungena ukungqamanisa loo mpumelelo kuzo zonke ezinye iintlobo zezithuthi, ukusuka kwiiteksi ukuya kwiiveni zokuhambisa kunye nayo yonke into ephakathi, ukunceda ukwenza ukutshintshela kwi-zero emission ukuhamba kungabizi kwaye kube lula. Ngeebhiliyoni zeebhiliyoni zotyalo-mali lukarhulumente kunye nolwemizi-mveliso oluqhubeka lufakwa kwinguqu yombane yase-UK, intengiso yezithuthi zombane ikhula ngamandla. ”
Nangona kunjalo, intloko yomgaqo-nkqubo weRAC, uNicholas Lyes, uthe umbutho uphoxekile sisigqibo sikarhulumente, esithi amaxabiso aphantsi ayimfuneko ukuze abaqhubi bakwazi ukutshintshela kwiimoto zombane.
“Ukwamkelwa kweemoto zombane e-UK kuyancomeka ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kodwa ukuze sizenze zifikeleleke kuye wonke umntu, kufuneka ehle amaxabiso. Ukuba nokunye okuninzi endleleni yeyona ndlela ibalulekileyo yokwenza oku kwenzeke, kungoko sidanile urhulumente ekhethe ukusiphelisa esi sibonelelo okwangoku. Ukuba iindleko zihlala ziphezulu kakhulu, umnqweno wokufaka abantu abaninzi kwiimoto zombane uza kubhangiswa.”
