Electric vehicles are a young person’s game, according to new research which found that 18-24-year-olds are more likely to go electric than any other age group.

More than half of 18-24-year-olds (51.8%) said they would consider acquiring an electric car, significantly more than the 31% of 35-44-year-olds and 33.9% of those aged between 45-54.

The cost of going electric won’t break the bank either with personal lease deals for Renault’s Zoe [pictured] starting from £183 a month.

The less encouraging news though is 60% of the 770 UK motorists, surveyed by van leasing and facilities management company Direct365, are completely uninterested in going electric.
