The UK loves electric cars. The evidence is infallible. YouGov polls show that 70% of us think they’re a great idea, and 60% of us say we’re likely to buy one. However, these percentages don’t seem to lead to conversion. Though there has been a 40% increase in the UK registrations of full electric vehicles, there remains a clear divide as more than 83% of the market is still non-electric.
The barriers to electric car ownership haven’t shifted dramatically in the mainstream press for the past five years. We’ve all heard the same excuses time and time again.
