Left-Wing UK Government’s State Imposed Rules See Petrol Cars ‘Rationed’​

Car makers across the UK are rationing sales of petrol and hybrid vehicles to sidestep punitive net zero fines, one of the country’s biggest dealership chains has claimed.

Robert Forrester, chief executive of Vertu Motors, revealed the constraints being self-imposed on car sale forecourts as demands to meet state-imposed climate targets are pushed forward.

The move comes as consumer demand for expensive electric cars continues to wane.

Forrester says this means someone ordering a new car now may not receive it until February next year. He told the Daily Telegraph:

In some franchises there’s a restriction on supply of petrol cars and hybrid cars, which is actually where the demand is. It’s almost as if we can’t supply the cars that people want, but we’ve got plenty of the cars that maybe they don’t want.

They [manufacturers] are trying to avoid the fines. So they’re constraining the ability for us to supply petrol cars in order to try and keep to the government targets.

 
I have the a2z for mine and it works great. Just make sure the slide lock is actually engaged or it won't connect. Common issue with ours and I assume yours has the same mechanism
Tested it at super charger yesterday and it worked great. Rivian notified us the Tesla-produced adapter is on its way a week ago, but still no shipping data. So who knows when it will get here.
