I-United Kingdom ithathe isinyathelo esibalulekile ekusheshiseni ukwamukelwa okusabalele kwezimoto zikagesi (ama-EV) ngokwethula uhlelo lwemali yesibonelelo sikahulumeni oluhloselwe ukuqinisa ingqalasizinda yokushaja i-EV yezwe. Lesi sinyathelo siyingxenye yesu eliphelele likahulumeni wase-UK lokuzuza ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni eyiziro ngo-2050, ngenhloso yokwenza ngcono ukufinyeleleka kanye nokwenza lula kobunikazi be-EV kuzo zonke izakhamuzi. Uhulumeni welula ukweseka kwakhe ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi kanye ne-hybrid esebenzisa iHhovisi Lezimoto Ezikhipha Igesi Ezingcolile (i-OZEV).
Abanikazi bezakhiwo abanentshisekelo yokufaka izindawo zokushaja ze-EV manje banokufinyelela ezinkethweni ezimbili ezihlukene zesibonelelo:
Isibonelelo Sephoyinti Leshaja Yezimoto zikagesi (Isibonelelo Sephoyinti Lenkokhelo ye-EV):Lesi sibonelelo siklanyelwe ukudambisa umthwalo wezezimali wokufaka amasokhethi okushaja imoto kagesi. Ihlinzeka ngoxhaso lwemali engu-£350 noma u-75% wezindleko zokufaka, kuye ngokuthi iyiphi imali ephansi. Abanikazi bezakhiwo bafanelekile ukufaka izicelo zezibonelelo ezifika ku-200 zezindawo zokuhlala kanye nezibonelelo eziyi-100 zezakhiwo zezentengiselwano unyaka ngamunye wezimali, futhi bangakwazi ukusabalalisa lezi zakhiwo noma ukufakwa okuhlukahlukene.
Isibonelelo Sengqalasizinda Yezimoto zikagesi (Isibonelelo Sengqalasizinda ye-EV):Isibonelelo sesibili siklanyelwe ukusekela uhla olubanzi lwemisebenzi yokwakha nokufaka edingekayo ukuze kufakwe amasokhethi amaningi okushaja. Lesi sibonelelo sikhokhela izindleko ezifana nezintambo kanye nokuthunyelwe kwengqalasizinda futhi singasetshenziselwa kokubili ukufakwa kwezindawo zokushaja zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo. Abanikazi bezakhiwo bangathola uxhaso olufika ku-£30,000 noma u-75% wesamba sezindleko zomsebenzi, kuye ngenani lezindawo zokupaka ezihilelekile. Umuntu ngamunye angakwazi ukuthola izibonelelo zengqalasizinda ezifinyelela kwezingama-30 unyaka ngamunye wezimali, isibonelelo ngasinye sabelwe indawo ehlukile.
I-EV Charge Point Grant ibaluleke kakhulu njengoba inikeza izindleko ezifika ku-75% zokufaka izindawo zokushaja izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi ezihlakaniphile ezindaweni zasekhaya kulo lonke elase-UK. Lolu hlelo luthathe indawo ye-Electric Vehicle Home Charge Scheme (EVHS) kusukela ngomhlaka-1 Ephreli 2022.
Isimemezelo salezi zibonelelo sithole ukwesekwa okusabalele emikhakheni eyahlukene, okuhlanganisa izinhlangano zezemvelo, abakhiqizi bezimoto, nabashisekeli be-EV. Kodwa-ke, abanye abagxeki baphikisa ngokuthi ukubhekana nomthelela wemvelo wokukhiqizwa nokulahlwa kwebhethri le-EV kusalokhu kuyisici esibalulekile sokuhamba esimeme.
Njengoba i-UK ilwela ukushintsha umkhakha wayo wezokuthutha iye kwezinye izindlela ezihlanzekile, ukwethulwa kwesibonelelo sendawo yokushaja imoto kagesi kumele isikhathi esibalulekile ekulolongeni isimo sezwe sezimoto. Ukuzibophezela kukahulumeni ekutshaleni imali ekushajelweni kwengqalasizinda kunamandla okushintsha izinto, okwenza izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi zibe yisinqumo esisebenzayo nesimeme engxenyeni enkulu yabantu kunangaphambili.
