The elephant in the room in the UK is the ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030, with a likely ban - or, at least, punitive taxation - on the sale of used ones from 2035. In other words, in not much more than a decade, you will likely be forced into an EV if you want/need a new car. Currently, the infrastructure doesn't support that.

I suspect there will be some rethinking of the ban date as it approaches.
