Join Holly and Ben as they speak with Zachary Moodie (NFDA) and Furrukh Sheikh (Cox Automotive Europe) to explore how the Autumn Budget 2025 reshapes the automotive landscape. This episode covers the introduction of the EV pay-per-mile tax (EV mileage tax), changes to EV incentives, the updated electric car grant UK, and how the proposed EV road tax UK model could influence consumer adoption.

The conversation examines what these policies mean for retailers, fleets and OEMs as they manage ZEV mandate pressures and growing uncertainty around EV demand. The guests also highlight the implications of business rates, workforce costs and the role of apprenticeships as the industry transitions towards electrification.

With clear, grounded insights, this episode outlines the opportunities and challenges created by the Budget across the automotive sector.
