Electric vehicle sales targets could be cut after pressure from car makers

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
If targets are relaxed, EV rollout shifts from regulation-led to demand-led, which likely slows near-term adoption but eases compliance stress for manufacturers.
💡 Why it matters
Dealers, fleet buyers, and charging operators should re-run 12-24 month forecasts now because subsidy, inventory, and infrastructure decisions depend on mandate strength.

Reports from UK outlets say government EV sales mandates may be softened after automaker pressure and pace concerns.
