Electric cars 'will become the norm'
Published: 07 January 2011
An increasing number of motorists will use electric cars to drive to caravan sites and other locations over the next couple of years, one expert has revealed.
Dr Ben Lane from nextgreencar.com suggested that the rising cost of fuel will be one of the main reasons for the trend.
"The most you can save is by using electric vehicles, so if they are ever going to make it, now is the time," he explained.
Dr Lane predicted that thousands of electric cars will be on the road by 2012, with people drawn not only to their efficiency but also their level of performance.
Transport secretary Philip Hammond and business minister Mark Prisk revealed last month that some electric car models will be eligible for green grants up to the value of £5,000.
It believes that the incentive may make 2011 the year of the electric car in the UK.
