Diesel hits record £2 a litre as EV sales soar
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, coinciding with new electric vehicle sales hitting a milestone high in September. Commentators point to the contrast between rising pump costs for drivers of petrol and diesel cars and growing uptake of EVs, driven partly by high fuel prices making electric motoring more attractive.
Why now: The juxtaposition of record fuel prices and record EV sales highlights the cost pressures pushing British motorists towards electric cars.
