Funny what a spike at the pumps can do…
Rising petrol and diesel costs have driven a 36% increase in EV leasing enquiries, as drivers start doing the maths and realising something important:
EVs aren’t just cleaner, they’re often cheaper.
The shift isn’t being driven by policy or persuasion, it’s happening because of real-world economics hitting people in the wallet.
And once that calculation clicks, behaviour changes quickly.
Crisis creates action… but the challenge is making that change stick long-term, not just while prices are high.
From The EV Café sofa:
We’re watching the market do what the market does best, respond to cost signals.
