Gill Nowell Last summer I booked a cottage for a few days away before I realised it included an EV charger. When I got there (without having to stop for a charge on the way incidentally) I asked the owner how I should pay her for using the charger and she said “you don’t - it’s free”.…

It’s Friday evening and I have a small request. Hit me with your positive news. Any topic but must be positive and not intrude someone else privacy.

Free holidays - an unintended consequence of having an electric car.

Charge Point installations rise by a third : transportandenergy.com/2024/04/08/cha…

Lots of noise around car-makers seemingly delaying EV introduction in favour of P-HEV. Next move must be for legislators to align homologation cycles to real world. Plug-in hybrids emit 350 percent more CO2 emissions in real-world driving than their laboratory test values,…

Another day, another comment piece in the Telegraph that:

2014: Back to the future and the #EV street of tomorrow.

🇬🇧 6,697 electric cars were registered in total in 2014.

Today over 1 million all-electric cars have been registered, with over 57k public + 700k home & workplace chargers.

We’ve come a long way in ten years.

250,000+ electric miles later and the novelty isn't wearing off. ⚡😀

Fantastic to see the growth in EV charging infrastructure as reported by Melanie Shufflebotham and Zapmap , who also report that '75% of these have been installed by the five largest networks' including Osprey Charging who surpassed the 1,000 chargepoint mark in Q1 2024. The rate of…

So John Redwood has suggested EVs are no better for CO2 emissions than petrol cars

This is categorically UNTRUE

The total lifetime CO2 emissions of an EV in the UK (which include those emitted when it gets built) are THREE TIMES LESS than a petrol's

A short thread on why

Easter weekend has come and gone, and I didn't see one horror story about EV charging!

If you travelled somewhere in your EV over the long weekend, what was your experience like?

Osprey hits 1,000 rapid charger milestone
