Will Hybrid Cars Still Be Allowed After the UK's 2030 Petrol and Diesel Ban?

Do You Think EVs Will Be Affordable by 2030? Fewer than one in six motorists believe electric vehicle prices will drop enough to be affordable by the 2030 phase-out of petrol and diesel cars. Key concerns include a lack of public charging, the need for more time to transition, and a preference for traditional cars. Despite this, the majority of people still expect to be driving an EV by 2030, with only a small percentage saying they would never own one. #EVs #ICEban #EVCharging https://lnkd.in/ek8tQ2HA
