The Government's push for more EVs and crack-down on gas guzzlers hasn't gone without impact on our markets

Z Energy has been trading lower since the announcement.

And the Climate Change Commission's report has been causing big uncertainties for the market.

Grant Swanepoel, director of equity research at Jarden, told Heather du Plessis-Allan the drop is a long term trend as the market has been worried about the EVs for a while.
