Despite the move towards decarbonisation, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are still prevalent in most markets.
Up to 2020, nearly 80% of all passenger vehicles sold in the leading European markets were petrol or diesel, with the average lifespan of road vehicles being 10 years.
Clearly, the road to carbon-neutrality is a rocky one with barriers to adoption including price, range and refueling/charging anxieties. However, news that UK electric vehicles sales outpaced ICE sales for the first time in December 2022 offers cause for optimism in the race for adoption.
