INTRODUCTION
The use of electric cars in the UK is rapidly growing, concept of electric cars is not new
to auto mobile industry. UK is one of those country who had introduced electric car in the year
1884, Hungarian engineer designed rechargeable lead acid battery which can fit into fossil fuel
vehicle can charge other electric part, later this idea was developed and engine was renovated
(Knobloch and et.al., 2020). Years after invention in cars engine, was completely adopted
electric engine allowing cars to be more reliable. In today’s world, electric cars is future of auto
mobile industry, UK car manufacturing giant struggling to manufacture electric cars because
Tesla is one of the most trustable electric car manufacture which have captured market of the
UK.
MAIN BODY
SECTION A
Background to use of electric cars in the UK:
Electric cars are future of auto mobile industry, use of these concept's vehicle is rapidly
growing which means people have adopted electric cars for certain benefits mainly to reduce use
of fossil fuel cars which create pollution, it is very clear that customer segment of electric cars is
quite niche. Customer is ready to buy these vehicles but at lower cost which is not possible for
manufacturer, this fight between customer and manufacturer will never going to solve if price
will going to remain high. There may be high demand of electric cars in the UK but due to price,
people mainly lower income level group are not ready to buy these vehicles (Danielis,
Giansoldati and Rotaris, 2018).
Even after impact of COVID-19, there is high demand of electric vehicle in the UK, there
are 370000 units running successful in roads. These units are mainly manufactured by Tesla; this
company is responsible to manage demand and supply of EV and Hybird vehicle. This report
will discuss background of chosen topic and will understand article presented in the report. Later
this report will discuss summary of chosen topic and provide methodology about use of electric
cars in the UK.
Presentation of both article:
The environmental and financial implication of expanding the use of electric cars:
In this article, the use of electric car is been discussed. It is very clear that electric cars are
future of vehicle, not only cars but other road vehicle such as motor cycle and cycle is rapidly

converting into electric vehicle (The environmental and financial implications of expanding the
use of electric cars, 2021). This article investigates the impact of rechargeable vehicle on
environment and financial area, every human being known impact of fossil fuel cars on nature.
Pollution is one of the most common word, whole world is facing issue due to rapid increase
pollution and bad air quality. Nature is being badly impacted due to fossil fuel vehicle, many car
manufacturer know that earth is slowly becoming place where it will be hard to survive and the
reason is very clear, use of fossil fuel that create pollution. Electric cars rapidly taking over mind
s of customer because of certain reason such as pollution and care for nature, lower price,
changing lifestyle and demand of modernization. Each country of this world need to be strict to
overcome barrier of global warming, UK is one of those country who took major steps to bring
down impact of pollution on nature.
Impact of use of electric cars on financial area of customer is quite favourable, this article
provides clear understanding on affect of financial capacity and spending behaviour of customer.
Electric cars is being dramatically used in the UK, British customer now focusing on improving
their lifestyle by using electric cars. It is very clear that finance and budget of customer play vital
role which means this car is not common to public who spend less of vehicle mainly on
innovative or concept cars. Income level of people is quite favourable to afford electric cars but
many people doubt about reliability and durability of these cars because they have not use
electric or futurist car before (Morganti and Browne, 2018). Roads of the UK will be full of
electric cars, many electric car manufacturing company have taken over and more to come.
There is high demand of the electric vehicle and this is rapidly growing.
Presentation of second article:
Recycling of old engine vehicle to electric cars:
In this article, dynamic of electric cars is being discussed, where this article provides
clear understanding of the use of electric cars in the UK. Electric cars not only impact bigger
problem of country but this help them to solve those issue which need to be taken into account
such as global warming (Recycling of old engine vehicles to electric cars, 2021). It is very clear
that use of electric car will be future of good natural health. Electric vehicle help country to
overcome issue of pollution and this allows customer to adopt new lifestyle, although, there are
certain negative impact of electric vehicle such as use of acid fluid battery which will impact
atmosphere layer, digital technology which will impact bird and other animal. Impact on
