The UK government has pledged that by 2030, at least half of all new car sales will be hybrid or electric as part of its ‘Road to Zero’ strategy. This strategy plans to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars completely by 2040, with the aim for almost every car on the road to be zero emissions by 2050. Despite electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid cars expected to continue to rise in popularity, many drivers are still unfamiliar with the relatively new technology like connectors, variable rates of charge and charging station options.
The truth is, electric car charging can be as easy as filling up with petrol or diesel once you know how it’s done – especially with the growing number of public charging stations across the UK. With EVs and plug-in hybrids now better developed and more powerful than ever before, there’s never been a better time to familiarise yourself with our electric car charging guide.
