Only 240,000 motorists have so far bought an all-electric car despite all the talk about how they represent the future of motoring.
The fact is that TV adverts showing smug couples driving around the countryside helping to save the planet bare little resemblance to reality.
Although electric car sales rose last month to a record 22,000, about 30million motorists still prefer to sit behind the steering wheel of a petrol or diesel car.

Consumer uncertainty is the main hurdle to the car retail sector’s revival after showroom doors reopen on April 12, according to industry leaders.
An exclusive AM survey of the sector’s chairmen and directors, carried out in partnership with JudgeService YourPoll, showed dealers should be marketing the appeal of buying a new car now as Lockdown 3 nears its end.
Asked what is the most significant barrier to new car sales, 53.9% of respondents – a mix of chief executives, directors and other ‘C-suite’ leaders – said it is consumer confidence, and 50% felt the same regarding used car sales.
And 57.7% said it was the main driver in reduced aftersales throughput, despite Government allowing servicing and maintenance work to continue.
