Would you drive an electric car?

As more emphasis is placed on climate change, governments are coming under pressure to reduce carbon emissions.

Britain has a unique opportunity to be completely carbon neutral in less than 30 years, but this will involve a number of changes, including saying goodbye to diesel and petrol cars.

To meet these ambitious targets electric cars will need to be a reality for all car-owning households in the next two decades; by 2040 the government is set to insist that all new cars purchased are electric.

While electric vehicles become more affordable and reliable each year, and better infrastructure exists to help with charging, many people are still reluctant to make the jump to electric.

For some, the cost is too high, for others they need to travel longer distances than an electric car will allow. Some people simply feel more comfortable with a traditional petrol car.
