ELECTRIC VEHICLES
PM S PLAN: Boris Johnson has vowed to ban new sales of petrol and diesel cars by 2030 . He announced £2.8billion in funding as part of his ten-point green plan, including £1.3billon on the rollout of electric car charging points.
REALITY: The 2030 target is viewed by the industry as incredibly ambitious with car companies facing an uphill battle to meet demand on time - and the UK charging network needing to be increased to 20 times the size it is today.
The AA says the 2030 target is incredibly ambitious , with the three major concerns around electric cars for drivers being the initial cost of the car and availability, perceived single-charge range anxiety and charging infrastructure.
