I personally think that we are moving forward in the Automotive Industry in terms of Electric Cars and we are slowly phasing out of the use of Gas powered cars. As you have probably heard from the latest news, the Jaguar I-Pace from JLR has just won the European Car of the year 2019 award and it's the first all-electric car which is produced by them. Furthermore JLR is planning a massive investment in the field of Electric Cars in the United Kingdom and all of their products will be usable by the year 2020.
Also in the rest of Automotive companies such as Groupe Renault in France I know that there is a large investment in the Electric Cars such as Renault Twizy which is 100% Electric and economically small and for big city uses.
At the end, I know that in England at the moment there is a new rule that every house or apartment that is being designed by architects, must have a powering station for Electric Cars otherwise no license is given for the building phase.
P.S: Below are the links I have read for JLR investment in the UK in this regard:
