Since its launch, the app has answered a combined total of 1662 questions, with an average session time of 2 minutes and 52 seconds.

Future of Transport Minister Rachel Maclean said: "Electric vehicles are no longer an idea for the future, with more people than ever before opting for this new and exciting form of transport.

"Whether you’re interested in costs or the environmental benefits, this new app supported through the government’s Go Ultra low campaign, will help to drive the uptake of electric vehicles.

"This will in turn cut transport emissions and make our communities healthier, better places to live… all from the comfort of our own sofas."

Head of Go Ultra Low Poppy Welch said: "If we want to help UK consumers make the most informed decision when it comes to switching to an electric vehicle, it’s important that Go Ultra Low understands the latest consumer behaviour and embraces new technology. Voice Search is a growing trend and this new service will help support potential EV customers in a completely different and innovative way. It’s been great working with Wavemaker and in the space of 5 weeks we’ve developed content, designed the user experience and built the app."
