Celebrities have for a long time led the electric car revolution - mainly because they can afford the fancy electric cars. But that is changing. Electric vehicles are becoming more and more affordable! You can check out our best EV deals here.
Prince Charles
The heir to the throne is a well-known environmentalist, but he owns well over 100 cars.
And one of them is an Aston Martin DB6 which was a gift for his 21st birthday from the Queen. The car has since been converted to run on wine. The DB6 is perhaps most well known for playing a lead roll in the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Prince Harry
Harry has recently sold his Audi RS6 in favour of an Audi e-tron. The RS6 came with 11k worth of not so royal optional extras. Including RS Sport suspension plus with dynamic ride control, dynamic steering, night vision assist, Daytona Grey paint, 21-inch five twin-spoke alloys, sports exhaust, heads-up display, and heated front and rear seats.
Despite Royal warrants for Bentley, Aston Martin, and Jaguar Land Rover, Audi is family favourite among the Royals. Prince Harry has owned a similarly fast RS5 and an S3, Prince Charles owns an A8, while the Duke of Cambridge has owned an Audi A5 Sportback, and the Dutchess of Cambridge an A3.
One can't help but think that Meghan had something to do with Harry trading in the 174 mph, 552 bhp, twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 RS6 for an all-electric e-tron.
He frequently drives himself and Meghan to official events in the e-tron.
