Battery charging infrastructure has strengthened. Alternative solutions to public charging stations are being explored. High fuel prices are turning consumers towards EVs. A lot is building towards a speedy 2022.

The sale of EVs in the UK has been soaring at rapid rates, with numbers going up every month. In November, the 3rd best-selling car of all fuel types was the Model 3 Tesla in the UK and in November nearly 19% of all cars sold were battery electric vehicles.

The Biden administration today released a road map for building out a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations as part of its plan to combat climate change.

Sales of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles rose 40% year on year, to 10,796, meaning in total 28% of cars sold in November were capable of zero-emission driving. Meanwhile, sales of diesel vehicles continued to plummet, down 63% compared with a year ago, while new petrol vehicle sales fell 10%.

New homes and buildings in England will be required by law to install electric vehicle charging points from next year, the prime minister has announced.

Plans have been announced for a series of new electric car charging hubs in what has been described as the UK’s biggest-ever motorway charging network upgrade.

Almost 22,000 pure electric vehicles were registered in November, more than double the 10,345 registered in the same month last year, as the share of total sales accounted for by battery-powered electric vehicles climbed to 19%.

Transport is responsible for around a quarter of the world’s carbon emissions and road vehicles account for around three-quarters of that share. If there is to be any chance of reaching net-zero by 2050, EVs will need to take over, and soon.

New car showrooms will look a lot different by 2030, with EV’s and hybrids likely to make up more than half of the options among available models, according to many industry analysts. By next year alone, the number of all-electric offerings will quadruple.

Research shows that electric vehicles are better for the environment. They emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants than petrol and diesel vehicles. This also takes into account their production and electricity generation to keep them running
