    The options to go anything other than EV are and will get fewer and fewer. The option of a diesel will all but disappear over the next few years limiting choices still further.

    Nobody knows what will happen in the energy market over the next year or so but I think the price of electricity will continue to rise as demand increases for EVs.

    It could however be exacerbated by the government moving to a “pay per mile” approach to recovering tax lost due to the move from fossil fuel. I can see a situation arising where electricity is expensive and on top the pay per mile option is introduced which could make it very expensive for many drivers to get out and about. There will be calls to reduce the cost of pay per mile charge’s for the disabled so hopefully that would be introduced but there’s no guarantee.

    To offset all the above costs is the very real prospect of BEVs being up to 25% cheaper  to manufacture, over the next few years, than at present.
