3. The evolution of alternative fuels and the fleet market.
Government incentives are far from the only reason to choose ultra-low emission vehicles.
Here we explain the evolution of alternative fuels and the market.

4. “ Alternative fuels are still a small part of the overall car market but they are also the fastest-growing”

5. Plug in grant
The above graph focuses on a (large) subset of the Alternative Fueled vehicle (AFV) market: the number of cars eligible for the Plug-In Car Grant. This is probably, (SMMT's figures) the best way of showing the rise of clean cars.

List of top 10 vehicles on the road either currently or previously offered with Government plug-in grants – as of Q4 2015
Source: (based on DVLA)
The registration data also shows that Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV continues to be the best-selling plug-in vehicle in the UK with more than 21,500 models sold by the end of Q
The latest figures show that the Nissan Leaf maintains its position as the most popular electric car in the UK, with almost 13,000 vehicles registered by the end of June 2016.
In third place BMW i3 with 4,457 UK registrations across both the all-electric and range-extender variants,
Fourth place and the Renault Zoe with 3,339 UK sales by the end of the June 2016.
Fifth place the increasingly popular Mercedes Benz C350e - 3,337 sales
Sixth place The Tesla Model S - with more than 3,300 units - is in fifth place,
Plug-in hybrids have rapidly taken an increasing share of the electric car market, a trend that only looks set to continue with more models confirmed to go on sale in the UK within the next year. From accounting for less than a quarter of plug-in sales at the beginning of 2014, within two years they represent almost two thirds the overall number of plug-in cars sold by 2016.

Vehicle Range
A perceived barrier that doesn’t really exist

10. Range
BMW i3: miles
Nissan Leaf: 155 miles (2017 version, est. 250)
Kia Soul: miles
Renault Zoe: 100 miles
VW Golf E miles
Ford Focus E 100 miles
Tesla 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds miles
BMW also offers a range-extender with a 38bhp petrol engine, fitted purely to develop electricity for the battery pack. This increases the range up to 276 miles, emitting just 12g CO2/km.
Note:
This week, Tesla announced the release of the Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode — nothing more than a simple upgrade to a 100kWh battery — and the world went wild. Why? Because this upgrade enables the Model S to travel from 0 – 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, giving it the fastest acceleration of any currently available production car (the slightly quicker Ferrari LaFerrari and Porsche 918 Spyder are no longer available with that coveted New Car Smell).
Like all electric vehicles, that more powerful battery delivers 100% of its dual-engine torque immediately, pushing the four-wheel-drive saloon past records heretofore the domain of million-dollar supercars.
But while the world is focusing on 2.5 seconds, a very small number, there’s another, much larger number that is ultimately more important — one that pushes Tesla into the domain of mid-sized family vehicles. And we’re talking about range — 315 miles of it.

An expansion of the charging infrastructure
Greater driver acceptance as both perceived and actual fears/risks are overcome
Increased remarketing data helps leasing companies firm up residual value calculations (a key driver of leasing cost)

A perceived barrier - does it really exist?
As OLEV have covered off, charging points are no longer an issue.
