You won’t be the only one considering a switch to electric power – the fuel supply crisis and scenes of panic at the pumps has lead to a huge surge in EV interest, with more people than ever considering switching to a new electric vehicle.
After a weekend of queuing, frustration and hysteria, having the option to charge your vehicle from the comfort of your own home, or from a public charging point, seems like bliss for more and more people.
What’s more, with second-hand car prices rocketing, there’s really never been a better time to sell your car and make the switch to electric – you’ll get a great price for your current vehicle and you’ll never have to worry about a fuel shortage again.
