Electric vehicles (EVs) are shifting from curiosity to inevitability. With a planned ban on new petrol and diesel sales from 2030 and hybrids in 2035, consumer appetite is coming to terms with policy. In 2024, the UK was the largest EV market in Europe, and interest is rising as drivers weigh running costs, convenience, and the promise of cleaner travel. Inner city infrastructure allows for the large-scale rollout of chargers and shorter journeys favour EV’s range, while rural areas remain trapped in a chicken and egg situation, with investors waiting for increased adoption of EVs before installing chargers whilst consumers wait for chargers before getting EVs.
EV adoption is being pushed by government policy targeting a ban on new petrol and diesel sales by 2030 and 2035 for hybrids, amid a wider net zero 2050 aim.

Urban areas see expanding charge points, while rural areas face limited infrastructure, which dampens confidence in ownership and long-distance use.
