"2020 should remain a big year for electric cars, with over 30 new models being released in the UK and consumer confidence in the technology growing," points out Michael Woodward, UK automotive lead at Deloitte.

But their growth could be constrained by price and charging problems, he reckons.

"The current price of an electric vehicle, combined with concerns over charging infrastructure, means that many consumers are questioning whether now is the right time to switch to fully electric.

"In addition, some concern remains around potential constraints on the supply of EV new models into the UK.”
