With over 345,000 electric vehicles (EVs) and in excess of 650,000 plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) on UK roads at the end of October 2021, it’s fair to say the nation is adopting the transition towards a cleaner means of travel. But how accurately does this represent the relationship between EVs and those with accessibility requirements?
A guide, by the company Autotrader gives those with accessibility requirements a comprehensive breakdown of how to make the most of your EV experience.
From looking at the barriers you might face, to finding the best ways to overcome them, the guide explores what support is available to you, the pros and cons of getting behind the wheel of an electric model, and what changes are being made to make driving EVs more accessible for all.
