The analysis was carried out by John Dunham and Associates, an economic research firm specialising in economic and fiscal impact studies.
According to new analysis from Frost & Sullivan, the global electric vehicles (EV) market has made huge progress, with more than 55 models now available globally. Currently, over 70 per cent of the models on the market are battery EVs (BEVs) and approximately 25 per cent are plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs).

Aimsun is taking part in a UK study which is using human driver data to help improve the performance and acceptability of connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AVs).
The one-year project, Learning through Ambient Driving Styles for Autonomous Vehicles (LAMBDA-V), will also look at how driver behaviour can be analysed and used to accelerate the adoption of C/AVs.
Aimsun says new rules for safer and more efficient driving behaviour could be created from existing vehicles, based on road laws and on how h
