One of the most striking facts about driving trends to emerge from the debate on electric vehicles (EV) is that by far the majority of journeys - around two thirds - are under five miles. This is seen as ripe territory for easy substitution between existing cars and their electric counterparts, but the arrival of electric vehicles has many other implications.
Doubts persist about their use in very long journeys, but it's hoped that a developing infrastructure will change that. There is also a perception that electric vehicles are too slow to ever be properly adopted but, even apart from the high-speed electric sports cars that already exist, mass market versions can comfortably hit 70mph.
So what effect will the electric revolution have on our driving habits? Will there be a change to car ownership models, and will car clubs become more common? Will road pricing become more widespread? Will the infrastructure and charging networks determine how, when and where we drive?
Answering these questions and many others will be Richard Hebditch and Sian Berry from the Campaign for Better Transport, and they will be here – live – to answer your queries between 1pm and 2pm on Thursday 6 October. You can post questions in advance below, or join us for the chat on the day.
All the usual Guardian community rules apply so please keep all questions focused on the subject of electric vehicles and their impact on the road network and driving habits.
This is the the fourth in our series of six Q&A sessions; you can see the previous three sessions here:
