This report (which crops up every few months) is often used to spin #EV adoption, but the reality is its the #driving schools that are buying EVs for their fleets - most of the young #learner #drivers who choose #automatic #cars are picking #petrol / #diesel vehicles when they pass their test , the main reason folk are increasingly choosing automatic 'boxes in #UK is the stress of learning to drive and sheer weight of traffic (I've driven in #Swindon and it has an abundance of #roundabouts, where driving manual can be a chore).
There *isn't* at present much of "green dividend" as is often claimed (although it must reduce emissions from driving school cars, and used Renault Zoe and Nissan Leaf are now reaching "first car" price points)
