Diesel hits record £2 a litre as EV sales hit milestone
Original: Diesel hits record £2 a litre as new EV sales at milestone high in September: comment
Diesel prices in the UK have reached a record £2 a litre, while new electric vehicle sales hit a milestone high in September. Commentators are drawing a direct line between the two figures, arguing that soaring pump costs are pushing more drivers towards electric cars, and framing the moment as a turning point in the transition away from fossil fuel vehicles.
Why now: Record fuel prices coinciding with record EV sales make the shift to electric cars newly tangible for drivers.
