Really excited to have published T&E UK's new report 'Era of Electrification: A vehicle tax roadmap' ⚡️ The Treasury is set to lose £58 billion in fuel duty & 1st-year VED by 2035. By implementing T&E's tax roadmap, they could instead raise £64 billion to offset the loss and fund public services.

Great to write this piece for @politicshome.bsky.social today. Unlocking affordable access to EVs through social leasing would cut bills for lower income households, further our energy independence, and help fight the climate crisis.

It's National Pothole Day ❗ 🚩 We can all agree potholes suck. But not all drivers are equal culprits - a 2 tonne SUV causes up to 16 times as much road damage as a 1 tonne car. That's why @transenvuk.bsky.social want a Large Vehicle Levy to fairly charge SUV users for their impact on our roads.

Eloise Sacares @eloisesacares.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Great to see T&E UK's recent analysis on SUV sales quoted in the Birmingham Mail this weekend. Large SUVs cause greater damage to our roads, are more polluting, and diminish space in communities. Yet SUVs now make up 2/3 of sales compared to only 51% in 2021. We must ensure SUVs are fairly taxed.

Drivers back certain vehicles despite major safety risks to pedestrians

New figures revealed SUVs now make up two-thirds of all new vehicles sold in the UK

What’s been happening with SUV sales in the UK? 🚘 SUV sales have continued to grow in the UK market this year - meaning more emissions, safety risks and road wear, and less space on our roads for pedestrians and communities 📈
