2020, the Year EV sales really take off!8 Dec 2019 20:19
EV Database dot org is an excellent source of information, well worth a play with the filters to see what's here and what's coming along in different price segments and styles.

Basic information is that there are 28 EV models here now, some have been around for years. But next year 34 new models will arrive, including several in the lower price bracket, where many prospective buyers have been waiting years for EV's to arrive.
Because all of these new models are arriving next year, there will be pretty much an EV that fits everyone's requirements. This means 2020 will be the year that EV's really take off, pummeling the sales of petrol and diesel cars.
There are currently only 8 EV vans, but next year another 14 out next year, including Fiat, Peugeot, Mercedes, VW, Citreon, Morris, LDV etc. Again this will produce vans suitable for everyone that needs a van. The uptake will be huge. This is where I see Royal Mail, UPS, and other couriers buying up fleets of EV vans, and this is a big target for the AFC EV charger, because the couriers would need huge power to recharge their fleets. An AFC EV charger may not need planning permission, or minimal level for these sites, because they will be on private property, not in public car parks.

There will of course be a huge increase in demand for EV charging points for all the above vehicles. So AFC's timing could not be better, as there's no chance of the grid or the charging point expansion keeping up with demand.
