- Electric vehicle demand relies heavily on higher fuel prices since the Iran war began in February, leaving it vulnerable if pressures ease.
- Delaying pay-per-mile electric road taxes could provide more tangible support for demand.
- A likely Bank of England rate increase today is unlikely to significantly affect car finance prices.
