Ahead of the ULEZ (Ultra Low Emissions Zone) expansion due to take place later this year, it appears Londoners are looking to swap to eco-friendly means of transport to swerve a £12.50 daily charge in a bigger area from the 25th of October 2021.
In a survey conducted each year since 2019 by BikeSure, 1000 Londoners were asked about their opinion on ULEZ, with 73.4% considering a switch to an electric vehicle as a result - with 13.5% willing to stick to petrol combustion engines.That’s as 83.4% will continue to drive or ride in the capital’s low-emissions zone after the expansion date, with 9.3% having intentions of swapping to electric scooters/mopeds and motorcycles (6.5% & 2.8% respectively).
Meanwhile, public perception of the expanding ULEZ zone is shrinking - 40.3% of respondents felt it was a good idea, compared to 44.9% in 2020, with 37.5% approving of the ULEZ expansion but are frustrated by its impact on their lives, down on 43.2% surveyed in 2020 - link - Alex Strange - link - more like his - link
