The size of the Isle of Wight might make it the perfect place to have an electric car. Sales are continuing to expand, up 50% on the same quarter last year.
Starting off at the low point of seven in 2012, Isle of Wight electric vehicle (EV) sales have increased, with the last year seeing one of the highest increases in the country. OnTheWight has the numbers and the surprisingly high number of other vehicles registered here.
The now-ex Chief Exec of Isle of Wight Council, Steve Beynon, has started selling himself as a "Strong strategic leader with proven track record of addressing under-performance", an "Inspiring communicator" with "Honest and consistent behaviour".
