The Age of the Electric Vehicle<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

A boom in electric vehicles (EVs) is spreading across the world today – the age of the electric vehicles – with Europe in \"\"<\/a>the lead, and bolstered by an increasing number of policy and business incentives.\u00a0For all all the\u00a0<\/span>hype, electric vehicles still make up a tiny percentage of global vehicle sales. Like, less than one percent tiny. But there’s a growing movement around the world to put a deadline on the life of the internal combustion engine. This year India, the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, and France, amongst other states and cities, have said they want to phase out gas and diesel vehicles within the next few decades. The planet’s largest car market, China, is moving in the same direction. Government incentives influence car buyers attitudes, as evidenced by Norway, where EV sales\u00a0now account for around 30 percent of sales<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the longterm future of the fossil fuel-powered car under threat, automakers have no choice but to adapt. General Motors says it’s\u00a0working towards a fully electric future<\/a>. All of Britain’s Jaguar Land Rover cars and SUVs will have an electric option by 2020. Sweden’s Volvo is doing the same, by 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
