OK I thought seems fair, Government must be lagging behind in putting infrastructure in place to make owning an electric car viable.
So I checked and seems out of Europe we are in the top 8 of Electric friendly car countries, in fact we are 3rd. I didn't know that so might need more investigation.
However if we are the 3rd most friendly Electric Car country, why are car manufactures moving out of the country to focus on electric cars??
3. The United Kingdom
The U.K. aims to be a major force in the electric vehicle market, which it sees as a way to revitalize the country’s industry and provide high-tech jobs. Along with California, and possibly China, the U.K. is one of the few governments that has a comprehensive strategy for electrification, as opposed to the piecemeal measures being taken by most countries and states. The government’s Road to Zero strategy addresses commercial vehicles, public transport, charging infrastructure and much more, and includes a proposal to end the sale of fossil-powered vehicles by 2040.
The UK currently has over 16,000 public charging points, and the government has established a 400 million-pound fund to finance an expansion of the charging network. Buyers of plug-in vehicles are eligible for grants of up to 4,500 pounds.
