RECORD fuel pump prices mean nearly half of UK car drivers are thinking of swapping to an electric vehicle, according to a major study.
The online poll of more than 2000 UK car owners for The Motor Ombudsman found 48 per cent are concerned about having a pure petrol or diesel-powered vehicle – making a switch to a battery electric machine for their next purchase more likely.
The figures were revealed as the Government announced it was scrapping its plug-in car grant scheme that gave drivers a discount of up to £1500 off the price of some new EVs.
