Thumbs up to electric cars
February 17, 2011
One in three motorists would consider buying an electric car in the next year according to a survey by Motorpoint.
The online poll by the car supermarket giant found 41 per cent of people were impressed enough by the new generation of electric cars coming onto the market such as the Mitsubishi iMiEV and Nissan LEAF to invest in one at some point in the near future.
More than 1,900 people participated in the survey.
