It seems that electric is becoming more viable in the UK, and a recent email round with my cousins, one of whom owns a Leaf (yawn), about a Leaf critical report was met with no humour. But government incentives, a cleaner grid and zero emissions zones in cities, incentivises EVs. They make more sense in the UK and you view them differently to us. We have no such incentives here, no support for low or zero emission vehicles, little real government action on cleaning the grid (unless you count closing old power stations without building new ones), and only minor incentives to put solar panels on the roof... Teslas and hybrid Camrys are the only LEV/EV vehicles with any traction at all in our market, and that's because Teslas are cool and have impressive performance and range, and hybrid Camrys are economical and "normal"!
