Personal Travel – Key figures
Cars account for nearly two thirds of all road transport energy consumption
Car use per person increased by 91 % between 1970 and 1990
Number of cars UK in 2008 – 30m.
Distance travelled by car in 2007 – 15670 km / year
Consumption 1304 PJ - 2007 / Stable level due to fuel efficiency (e.g. 97b. Km
2007 more than in 1990 consuming just 0.014 Pt more energy)

Electric cars
Current situation
• Less than 0.1 % of the UK’s cars are electric
• EU and UK have developed policies to promote electric cars
• Electric vehicles have had several false starts.
Concerns
• Lack of capacity to generate electricity from renewable sources
• Safety issues
• Battery range
Predictions
• Energy issues and the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions will increase demand
• Problematic preparation the electric grid to cope with an upsurge in the number of electric cars
