Top 10 longest range electric cars on sale 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe government\u2019s shock announcement was a bit of a side show, though. Of more importance \u2013 but with less coverage \u2013 was its ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mandate announced a couple of weeks later. That said 80 per cent of all new cars a manufacturer sells in the UK in 2030 must be fully electric \u2013 or it\u2019ll pay a hefty fine. The mandate comes into force next year, when 22 per cent of the cars a maker sells have to be electric. Fines are in place (albeit with a number of ways to offset the penalties initially), and by 2035 every new car sold here must be zero emissions.<\/p>\n
So whether we like it or not, EVs are coming. But judging by recent sales figures, it\u2019s clear that the vast majority of private buyers fall into the \u2018not\u2019 category.<\/p>\n
So what will make people want an electric car? I don\u2019t hear many people complaining about the way EVs drive; they\u2019re quick, quiet and easy, and the \u2018fuelling\u2019 costs are low. But the cars are expensive, don\u2019t go very far and the public charging network isn\u2019t big or reliable enough.<\/p>\n
As the Tokyo show proves, battery tech is moving at such a pace that a 600-mile range from a full charge isn\u2019t too far away. Prices are coming down, too \u2013 our Deal of the Day stories online have had excellent EVs, such as the Peugeot E-208, for around \u00a3200 a month on a lease deal.<\/p>\n
So two of the biggest barriers are slowly coming down, but what about charging? The Government seems happy to leave that to the private sector, yet it needs more support. Your views matter most, though.<\/p>\n
What would make you want to buy an EV? We\u2019d love to know what you think.
