FIGURE 1. Fully decarbonising surface transport will significantly decrease energy demand and improve energy security in the UK 4
FIGURE 2. By 2030, the UK could be producing three-quarters of its electricity from renewable generation that does not depend on any fuel imports 5
FIGURE 3. Meeting the UK's net zero targets for road transport with four million fewer vehicles on the road is also likely to be the least energy-intensive decarbonisation... 7
FIGURE 4. After strong growth between 2020-2022, BEV sales are now falling behind both government and CCC targets 8
FIGURE 5. The vast majority of road vehicles in 2050 are likely to use electric batteries 10
FIGURE 6. Deployment of electric chargers is broadly on track to meet the government's target of 300,000 chargers by 2030 but will require a gradual increase... 11
