Not if batteries are universal - a quick swap and you're away.

Needs government lead. I think the UK could be ideally placed to develop new electric/fuel cell transport systems, having let go of nearly all conventional manufacturing capabilities. ie the capital investment's already gone, the technological expertise still (probably) around, a need to re-diversify our increasingly services based economy.

Just a thought
