There's already a lot of people driving a fully electric or hybrid(s) car in the UK. 

But for those drivers that haven't already made the change, there can be reluctance. 'Range anxiety', lack of charging infrastructure in your area and concerns about future changes like pay-per-mile which is currently in consultation may be putting you off.

So, for those of you who haven't yet moved over to an electric car, when do you think you might?

    The question needs clarification......are you including hybrids, both types or just full EV ?

    What about people who have more than one car ? the term 'move over' to electric might not apply because some of their driving will still include petrol and diesel.

    One of my cars is a hybrid but I don't necessarily drive it because it's a hybrid. It's a large vehicle, I use it sometimes because I need a larger vehicle. 😁😁
