What makes you think that the U.K. isn't adopting electric vehicles? I can tell you from direct visual observation that people are. The little green numberplate rectangles are fairly common, now.

The "green flash" scheme is great.

EVs are almost at the supply issues point. I've had one on order since June, which I suppose is my fault for choosing Stellantis.

It's not just Stellantis though, VW supply is stretched as well.
