BRITS WANT TO ‘PLUG-IN' TO THE ELECTRIC CAR

BRITS WANT TO ‘PLUG-IN' TO THE ELECTRIC CAR: "Almost three quarters (71 per cent) of British motorists would consider driving an electric car to help combat 'green' issues, according to research by esure car insurance.

Younger motorists are more likely to buy environmentally-friendly cars such as electric, hybrid or bio-fuel; a huge 81 per cent of under 25's would contemplate driving an electric car. This may be due to the associated lower costs of motoring - freedom from high petrol prices, road tax and congestion charges plus access to cut-price parking - in addition to a general empathy towards environmental issues.

However, the over 55's appear more set in their ways with a significantly lower number of those surveyed (66 per cent) considering to make such a change to their regular car buying decision-making."
