UK: High Demand for Electric Cars Due to Fuel Shortage

We have been hearing for the last few days that Britain is facing a fuel shortage. The reason for the fuel shortage is that there are not enough lorry drivers. The government is doing everything to improve the situation. The army is currently trying to deliver the supplies. The Ministry of Defence has selected 150 drivers for the delivery of fuel and 150 other personnel to support them. Meanwhile, the demand for electric cars is increasing rapidly.

The Current Situation

The petrol stations now have long queues of cars waiting for their turn. Some people are now also trying to buy an additional amount of petrol to store for future use. However, some petrol stations have now introduced a 30 pound limit on petrol. People are having trouble reaching their destinations on time. There is a kind of chaos at every petrol station.

What Caused this Situation?

After Brexit, many drivers from other European countries went back to their home countries leaving the UK completely unprepared for the coming situation. The pandemic also had a role to play. Many drivers who went back home could not come back because of the pandemic. Not to mention, many older drivers also retired from their posts.

Demand for Electric Cars

While the other people stand in queue for petrol, the owners of electric vehicles drive by free of any worry or hassle. There was a growing interest in electric vehicles due to global warming, but now the fuel shortage has finally added 'fuel to the fire'. The shortage of fuel has somehow intensified the realization of the need for an electric car. Many people are now contacting the local electric car dealers to ask questions about electric cars. Many have booked the test drives to see if it is right for them. There is a growing interest in electric cars and no one can deny it.

According to the owner of Electric Cars UK, Ben Strzalko, the effects of petrol shortage on cars will be apparent after a few months. Every time something happens to the traditional cars that disturbs the daily routine of people, they immediately start thinking about adopting new ways. This time their focus is on electric vehicles.

The best thing about electric vehicles is that the owner does not have to go to any petrol station. The vehicle can easily be charged even at home. It frees the owner from the worry of getting fuel. Therefore, electric cars could be the next best thing for the people and the environment.

There was significant growth in the sale of electric vehicles in July. the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders reported that the growth in the sale of plug-in cars was at its peak in July. The electric vehicles comprised 9% of sales, plus-in hybrids accounted for nearly 8% of sales while hybrid electric vehicles went for 12%.

Some experts claim that people were already very much interested in buying an electric vehicle. They were just waiting around for an opportunity to push them towards this decision. Now it seems like they have enough reason to switch from traditional cars to electric vehicles.
