The road ahead is electric – and it’s coming fast. The future of electric cars in the UK is all about change, innovation, and cleaner driving. With the government planning to ban new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, EVs are no longer a futuristic concept – they’re becoming the new normal.
By 2030, we can expect a surge in the number of electric vehicles on the road. Manufacturers are investing heavily in EV models, battery ranges are improving, and public charging networks are expanding rapidly. We’re also seeing more incentives to go green, from grants to zero road tax. In short, the UK is gearing up for an electric revolution.
But what does this mean for drivers? For one, EVs are expected to become more affordable thanks to economies of scale and technological advancements. Charging will also become faster and more accessible, with thousands of new rapid chargers planned across motorways and urban areas. And let’s not forget the environmental impact – zero-emission driving is key to reducing air pollution and fighting climate change.
Insuring an electric vehicle is also evolving. Premiums are becoming more competitive as insurers gain more data on how EVs perform on the road. Apps like Rooster are already ahead of the curve.
