​As we all know, the quality of technology across all industries is growing at an exponential rate, and our beloved friends who give us a thrill on the road, day in day out, are getting a makeover for the better. It has been found that the number of fleets operating electric forms of vehicles has increased by an astonishing 27% in the past year, with around 87% of consumers having an increasing demand for the technology which is aspiring the world.

Further research, conducted by well-known car brand KIA shows that almost two-thirds (62%) of consumers believe that both the UK’s current trend of charging infrastructure and the battery life of these smart vehicles will be good enough to warrant bulk-buying for the general public within as close to the next two to five years. The main contributing factors for this staggering research findings are due to these vehicles being good for the environment (49% of consumers commented), they are cost-effective for work and personal purposes (45% of consumers commented), and that legally, these vehicles would need to be included in future fleets (37% of consumers commented).
