It's EV Tuesday!

2nd September 2025

Good Morning EV Tuesday readers.

Here we are, the beginning of September, summer is almost over, the sun is making less of an appearance and the dark nights are getting longer.

This week, here at EV Cables, we have been looking and searching for all things EV related. We found a TV programme on ITV talking about whether it's time to switch over to an EV? Also, do you get confused by all the abbreviations and what they mean? Fear no more, we have them all here for you in point 6!

Now, have a read of this week's EV Tuesday newsletter and let us know what you think.

We will be posting this to our social media channels including Fa c ebook, Twitter & Reddit (check out r/evcables subreddit). If you have access to our blog, you will get an extra item :)

Right, ready.....steady.........GO!!

Feedback, Requests, Questions?

As always, please give us feedback on Twitter. Which item is your favourite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Just send a tweet to @ev_cables and put #EVTuesdays at the end so we can find it.

Have a great week everyone and happy reading!

Electric cars eligible for £3,750 government discount revealed. Two Ford models will have thousands shaved off their total cost through the government scheme, while 26 other types of EVs will have a discount of £1,500. The government announced its £650m Electric Car Grant scheme last month to help drive the switch to non-polluting vehicles. Grants will only apply to vehicles with a list price of £37,000 or below, and the discount will be applied automatically at the point of sale.

3. EV TIP: CONSIDER LONDON'S CONGESTION CHARGES

Starting in January 2026, electric vehicles will be subject to a discounted congestion charge, so EV drivers will no longer be exempt.

4. EV SHOW: ITV X

Tonight: Your Car: Time to Switch? Tonight - After strong demand for used cars in 2022 - and ahead of the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars - motoring journalist Ginny Buckley explores the future for electric cars.

5. EV REVIEW: WHAT CAR?

Citreon C5 Aircross

New Citroën C5 Aircross goes hybrid and electric for £30k. The new C5 takes on a noticeably beefier look than its predecessor, with thinner LED lights, a more aggressive front bumper and a heavily sculpted bonnet designed to improve airflow around the car. It keeps the more muscular look of the conceptual C5 Aircross revealed late last year, and aims to challenge big-selling family SUV rivals that include the Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai.
