Electric cars create their own ‘buzz’ of excitement, particularly the high-performance models. These vehicles have gained popularity due to their eco-friendly features and advanced technology. Tom Callow, who is a Head of Corporate Communications at My Energi, believes that people are now thinking about electric cars because they are desirable products as well as their green credentials.Callow argues that electric cars have come a long way from being viewed as slow and unattractive vehicles. With advancements in design and technology, they are now considered 'sexy' and desirable products. The growing interest in these vehicles has led to several car manufacturers makers producing high-performance electric models that can compete and, in some cases, out-compete with traditional petrol-powered sports cars.The desire for environmentally friendly transportation also plays a significant role in the increased demand for electric cars. Consumers want to reduce their carbon footprint while still enjoying an efficient and attractive mode of transport.#electricvehicles #electricvehicle #electricvehicleinfrastructure
