BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Call You and Yours - What's it like to buy and run an electric car?

The market for electric cars is still small but demand is rising fast. We want to hear your experience of buying and then running an electric car.

At the moment there's a waiting list for most new electric cars because the manufacturers can't make then quickly enough to meet demand. When Volkswagen launched their new all-electric hatchback this month they took 10,000 orders in 24 hours. 
But they're still expensive and people have concerns about the range of electric cars as well as whether or not the UK has the infrastructure to support them - or can build it fast enough.
