The start point for the best source of fleet information |
A report from the Department for Transport claimed to "realign long-held beliefs about electric vehicle ownership and usage patterns".
The report, entitled Uptake of Ultra Low Emission Vehicles in the UK, draws on the research of 50 sources.
According to the report, 82% of Ultra Low Emission Vehicle-owning households in the UK use an electric car as their main vehicle, while 20% of owners claimed their only car is solely powered by electricity.
The report also revealed that the average annual ULEV mileage is 8850 miles, compared to the average of 8430 miles for all cars.
The vast majority (90% of those surveyed) said that they would recommend electric vehicles to others, while most said they would purchase another plug-in vehicle in the future.
"As this report shows, plug-in vehicles are cheap to run, can be used every day and owner satisfaction is incredibly high," said Transport minister, Andrew Jones. "More and more families and businesses are choosing plug-in cars and vans to help them get on in life.
Jones added: "The Government is investing £500 million over the next five years in ultra low emission vehicles, innovative technology and charging infrastructure to support jobs and growth and keep Britain as a global leader for ULEVs."
