The 2020 Budget announcement was made yesterday by Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, but how will it benefit electric vehicle drivers?
In the annual statement, Mr Sunak announced that there would be more than £30b invested into roads, including improvements on motorways and transport links.
Electric vehicles will also benefit from the 2020 Budget, with a £900m investment into the research and development of “‘nuclear fusion, space and electric vehicles” declared. This would mean more funding to spend on electric vehicle research, including advancements on improving battery production.
