According to the website Parkers.co.uk, which surveyed 500 people, motorists are concerned about how long it would take to work off the extra cost of buying an electric car, compared to the economical running costs of an efficient diesel car.
.....The lack of dedicated charging stations, however, did not appear to be a purchase deterrent, with just six per cent saying this would put them off.
From the parkers link:
Comparing the cheapest electric car, the Nissan Leaf at £23,990 (after the £5,000 discount), to the SEAT Leon 1.6TDI Ecomotive S - which costs £16,840 - it could take up to 12 and a half years before buyers see any real savings.
Of course, your mileage may vary.
