Analysis of the UK's Carbon Neutrality Dilemma and Solutions Exploration——Take Electric Vehicles for an Example

Abstract

In recent years, countries around the world have been striving to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. As the first country in the world to achieve carbon neutrality, the UK's road to and results of carbon neutrality are of some reference value and significance, and the overall process of carbon neutrality has been steadily progressing, even reaching its peak carbon target in 1991. However, the issue of carbon neutrality and environmental protection itself has not all had a positive impact. In the UK, it must be noted that despite the many laws and policies introduced in the institutional arrangements for the transition, the achievement of peak carbon in the UK was not entirely institutionally driven, but was to some extent related to the downward trend in the domestic economy, caught in a reactive energy dilemma, while, guided by the mandate of carbon neutrality, the UK followed the rest of the world in starting the process of transforming automotive energy to electric as a source of The task of market operation and security of energy is therefore increasing as vehicle models begin to gain momentum. This paper will analyse the current situation and problems of carbon neutrality in the UK, using residential electric vehicles as an example, and make recommendations from both the business and government sides.
