Summarization

The SMMT also predicts that electric vehicles will account for one in four registrations this year, and has organized successful events with companies such as Ford and 3DGBIRE. However, there are concerns about the lack of available charging stations for electric vehicles in the UK.

A humorous comment on this research went viral on Twitter.
