@Vaun As always with statistics, it’s important to look at the whole picture. To take each of those 3 statistics in turn. Firstly, EVs are indeed experiencing strong percentage growth, but from a low base, so that’s not surprising. The 26% share is for November only. The 28% target is for the whole year, and it looks like the target will have been missed by a greater amount. Finally, it’s interesting that with all the push and heavy incentives to get people to switch to EVs, we still have a situation, even now, where for every person who chooses an EV, three don’t – and that’s before the government announced that they’d be starting to charge EV drivers per mile.
Of course, the most important statistic of all is that even with the above stats being true, EVs still only represent 1 in 20 of the cars on our roads (5%) and I suspect that a reasonable proportion of those are in households where they have more than one car (so aren’t totally reliant on an EV) and the vast majority can probably charge at home.
