As little as four per cent of Brits plan to make their next car an electric vehicle
LIVID motorists turned on “tax grabbing” Michael Gove last night – as over 75 per cent opposed his 2040 car ban plan.
Nearly eight in ten Brits disagreed with the Environment Secretary’s move to outlaw sales of new petrol and diesel motors in 23 years’ time.

23 years is a long, long time away. Electric cars may be obsolete by then!
Four per cent seems a reasonable estimate now but in ten years' time I think it will be far, far higher as ownership barriers reduce. Certainly, operating costs are lower for electric vehicles but it's the high initial cost, lack of range and charging that probably put most people off at the moment.
