With most urban areas in Wales with a 20 mph speed limit and an increase in traffic calming even in rural areas, performance cars are really struggling chugging along in low gears. It is making electric vehicles and variants look more and more appealing. By a strange quirk, I can see people in rural communities gaining even more, by having space for solar and small wind power to top up batteries off grid.
For me I would like to see an EV Transit Custom with 5 seats and boot space for a scooter, wheelchair, assistance dog etc. The prices for the competition are around £40,000 and would expect to see the Ford a little dearer but still close to some of the existing large SUV’s on the scheme.
