AA president Edmund King said there is “clearly a desire from drivers” to own electric cars but more must be done to encourage the uptake of the vehicles.
“Electric vehicles will play a significant role in the future,” he commented.
“Everything is working in favour of electric cars.
“The range of a single charge in constantly improving, the purchase and leasing prices are becoming more affordable, more models and styles are reaching the market and investments in chargepoints are being made.
“Electric vehicle technology has the ability to unlock much more than greener motoring; providing the chance to create new jobs and opportunities.
“More should be done to spark the EV revolution, such as scrapping the VAT on electric cars costing less than £50,000 and the construction of numerous gigafactories.”
