It looks like within the next 10 yrs petrol cars will get scarce on our roads, 5 yrs ago
only 20% new cars bought were diesel ,now it is roughly 70% so give that a few years
to filter through the second hand market and we will have a predominately diesel fleet
Blatant promotion should be outlawed

I don't think I'll be rushing out any time soon.
I have a electric motorbike - total crap.
Does about 10 miles properly, then another 10 miles just about, struggles about another 10, and then several hours to recharge.
Range isn't good enough, and there really isn't any quick way to fill up.
We are not there yet.
I do think that Tesla are getting there, it makes pretty interesting reading.
Range of 480km and a charge time of 45 mins !
Not sure though long term how batteries would perform.
