Test driving ‘UK’s slowest electric car’ the Citroen Ami<\/h3>\n

The electric car transition is set to be the biggest overhaul for the motoring industry in decades with consumers finding themselves in the middle.<\/p>\n

On one side, climate activists and manufacturers push for net-zero targets, while on the other, right-wing politicians call for tough net-zero targets to be scrapped.<\/p>\n

What is true is that more motorists are making the switch to zero-emissions vehicles than ever before with sales booming across the country.<\/p>\n

Data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) shows a whopping 193,221 brand-new fully-electric models have been sold in 2023 so far.<\/p>\n

This is up a staggering 40 percent on 2022\u2019s figures while similar surges have been noted in plug-in hybrid models (30 percent).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In August, figures show fully-electric cars are up 72 percent on last summer while petrol figures stagnate (up 9.8 percent) and diesel down 18.1 percent.<\/p>\n

However, sceptics often discuss the range of genuine concerns on the lips of motorists.<\/p>\n

A lack of public infrastructure is the main concern and one of the reasons Rishi Sunak pushed back his petrol and diesel car ban until 2035 earlier this week.<\/p>\n

According to ZapMap, the North East has just 1,459 public charging bays, less than three percent of the UK total.<\/p>\n

Rural areas are being left behind with Wales, the East Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber all having less than 3,000 bays.<\/p>\n

In comparison, London alone has over 16,500 and makes up a third of the total plugs in the entire nation.<\/p>\n

Motorists can secure at-home charging bays but at a sizeable cost with the cheapest starting at around \u00a3400.<\/p>\n

However, this doesn’t work for people who live in flats or without room to fit any plugs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the upfront costs of EVs are putting many off making the leap with the cheapest brand-new model priced at over \u00a320,000.<\/p>\n

A poll from Regit found 70 percent of Britons surveyed said the cost of switching to electric machines is too high.<\/p>\n

A whopping 58 percent of those polled even felt they would never own an electric car.<\/p>\n
