Electric Cars? Whats the fuss all about

The popularity of electric cars in the UK has shot up over the last few years, with around 90,000 plug-in vehicles on the road, compared with just 3,500 in 2013. This huge increase in electric cars in 2016 has come about because of a greater level of choice for drivers, a shift in the public’s attitude towards electric cars and a constantly improving public recharging network. Combined, this means that UK electric car buyers have a greater selection of vehicles to choose from than ever before.

The future is bright too with a number of plug-in cars set to be launched within the next year or so and, with the UK government’s Plug-in Car Grant now guaranteed until 2018, an electric car is now a viable option for a large number of motorists.
