Commentary | Electric car market incentives

We saw tax rises in April that have made it more expensive for people to drive electric vehicles, so any incentives to help people buy one are welcome. Although more consumers than ever are looking to make the switch, many are still put off by the high upfront cost. There are now more EV models available than ever, varying in size and cost, so consumer choice is there. And as charging gets easier and with (possible) incentives for those without driveways, this should help reduce any lifestyle barriers people might have, providing even more peace of mind to make the switch.
