Petrol and diesel vans can also be sold until 2035, as well as hybrid rechargeable hybrids and hybrid cars.
The government will also facilitate the task of manufacturers who do not comply with the Zero Government Email (ZEV) vehicle mandate, which sets sales objectives, to avoid fines, and samples will be reduced.
Sir Keir said: “I am determined to support the British brilliance.
“Now, more than ever British companies and workers need a government that intensifies, not the gap.
“It means action, not the words.”
Officials said that support for the automotive industry will continue to be held under examination, as the full impact of the prices announced last week becomes clear.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the industry deserves “clarity” in the economic context.
She said: “Our ambitious set of strengthening reforms will protect and create jobs, making the United Kingdom a world car leader in the transition to electric vehicles, while meeting our main manifesto commitment to eliminate petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030.”
Mike Hawes, director general of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), said that the government had listened to industry and “recognized the intense pressure that manufacturers were under”.
“We are expecting all the details of regulatory changes, but, given the potentially serious opposite to which manufacturers face after the introduction of American prices, greater action will be almost certainly necessary to protect the competitiveness of our industry,” he said.
“Negotiations of the United Kingdom-US must continue at the rate, while the long-awaited industrial and commercial strategies should prioritize the automobile and be delivered at high speed.”
Colin Walker, transport analyst at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, said that the mandate of the ZEV is a “worldwide success” in the conduct of an increase in sales of electric vehicles.
He added: “But by weakening the mandate elsewhere by extending flexibilities and allowing the sale of standard hybrids between 2030 and 2035, the government risks reducing the competition it has stimulated between manufacturers, which means that families in search of an EV may not fall so quickly and sales could slow down.”
