He added:"Ten years ago, there were just six electric vehicles on the market, so they accounted for about one in every 1700 new car sales. Today, they are 140 electric vehicles, with another 55 coming this year. One in six cars sold in the UK is pure-electric.

It also reported that BP will invest an additional £1bn in EV charging points in support of the plan.
He added:"We need more rapid chargers to meet rising sales. Even more critical is the need for greater investment in public charging to get that network up to speed to meet this transition that's rapidly accelerating. That's why we're calling for a national plan to get the right chargers in the right place, and that has binding targets on infrastructure to match those that we have as an industry.
