Julie Daniels, motor insurance expert at Comparethemarket says: “As we approach the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in 2030, it’s not surprising that 54% of motorists are motivated to purchase an electric or hybrid vehicle.
“However, there is a significant upfront cost of buying an electric car and installing a home charging point, which will prevent many drivers from being able to afford this option. It’s important to bear these factors in mind and consider your budget and needs carefully when considering a hybrid or fully electric vehicle.”
The research was conducted after the price comparison website surveyed 2,000 car owners across the UK, with the goal of trying to figure out five things they would first look at when buying a new car.
