This decade long rise in popularity has been fuelled by advancements in technology, environmental concerns, government incentives and shifting consumer preferences. Globally, the EV market has experienced rapid growth, with over 1 million electric cars on the road in the UK as of March 2024, marking a significant milestone in the transition towards electrified transportation.  While this growth is widespread, regional variations exist, with countries like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and China presenting as leading EV adopters leading the charge due to supportive policies and robust charging infrastructure. The surge in EV adoption is closely tied to the urgent need to address climate change, as transportation emissions are a major contributor to greenhouse gases. To accelerate this transition, governments worldwide are implementing policies and incentives such as tax credits, rebates, and subsidies, alongside regulations aimed at phasing out internal combustion engine vehicles. 

As these vehicles become more popular, they’re starting to appear everywhere, reminding us of their potential to make a big difference. But with all this excitement, we have some questions: How can we make sure more people switch to EVs? How can we make the transition to electric cars easier for everyone?
