Rishi Sunak has announced he will push back the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by five years to 2035.

We want to speak to people in the UK who are looking to buy a car in the near future. What is your reaction to Sunak’s speech?

We’d like to know whether the delay is likely to affect your choice. Were you considering opting for an electric vehicle and are less sure now? If so, why? Or will it not affect your choice either way?

If you plan to buy a petrol or diesel car, what incentives would be needed to persuade you to opt for an electric vehicle?
