Strange 'starquakes' detected for the first time by European Space Agency's Gaia mission while building 'DNA.The research comes shortly after MailOnline exclusively revealed that the UK's rollout of electric car charger has stalled so far this year. 'It's clear there's a need to build awareness but most importantly to build and improve the UK's public EV charging infrastructure.'

'It seems a lack of education could be a major barrier to electric vehicle adoption, with 23 per cent of UK drivers believing charging an EV is more expensive than filling a petrol or diesel car.
'However, even with clear benefits and increasing availability, there are some UK drivers who are hesitant. Martin Broom, Motor and Home Product Director at Saga, said: 'It's great to see there's a maintained appetite for electric vehicles, with 68% of UK drivers actively considering the switch. However, the survey also found several barriers that are stopping drivers from making the switch.Īlmost three quarters (72 per cent) of respondents were put off by the high upfront cost, while half said their city is ill-equipped for electric vehicle charging. The survey revealed that the top reason drivers would consider switching to an electric vehicle was that they could save on fuel costs (55 per cent), that they're better for the environment (54 per cent), and that they want to get ahead before everyone switches to electric (34 per cent). Of these, 25 per cent said they would definitely switch, with 39 per cent expecting to switch within three to five years' time. More than two-thirds (68 per cent) said they'd consider switching to an electric vehicle, including 72 per cent of men and 65 per cent of women. Saga Insurance also surveyed 1,529 UK drivers aged 17+ to uncover public opinion towards electric vehicles. This was followed by Newcastle upon Tyne, Glasgow, Coventry, Edinburgh and Portsmouth.Īt the other end of the scale, Cardiff was found to be the least prepared city for electrification, followed by Stoke-on-Trent and Southampton. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the findings suggest that Greater London is the best city to own an electric vehicle. The team analysed a range of factors, including the cost of charging, clean air zones, accessibility to off-street parking and charging points in each city.
In the study, researchers from Saga Insurance set out to explore which UK city is the best place to drive an electric vehicle.
