Electric Cars; the future of cars

Today I'll be discussing electric cars. These are the future of cars and are likely to become much more common. One of the biggest problems with electric cars is the size of their batteries. The cars take several times longer to charge than petrol or diesel cars which puts many people off buying them. There are still many other issues which also have to be addressed regarding electric cars. There still needs to be far more infrastructure put in place for electric cars such as an increased number of charge points. There also needs to be much more investment put into electric cars to improve the speed at which they can be charged.

Although some incentives have been put in place to encourage the use of electric cars such as tax reliefs,more needs to be done to make them more attractive to buyers. In the UK, only 1.3% of cars are electric according to nextgreencar.com (http://www.nextgreencar.com/electric-cars/statistics/). These statistics are thought to be similar in most countries around the world. If the electric car grows in popularity, we will benefit from significantly less air pollution and a reduction in the speed of climate change.
