It's EV Tuesday!

10th November 2026

Happy Tuesday, EV Tuesday readers!

Here were are at the start of another week. Last week was Bonfire Week. Did many of you go to a Fireworks display? Or do you prefer to stay at home wrapped up, warm and cosy? We have a divide here in the office with who goes out and who stays in!

So, this week, we have been busy getting together EV Tuesday newsletter for you to sit and go through. If you like a bit of statistics and data, look at point 4 and the RAC link. There is a great You Tube Channel for you to subscribe to for Electroheads and a good app to download if you haven't got it already.

Now, sit back, grab a cup of tea or coffee and read through this week's EV Tuesday newsletter.

Don't forget to head over to our social media handles like Twitter & Reddit (check out r/evcables subreddit), sign up and share our pages, we do like to get the word out there. You can always sign up to our blog here and receive an extra item :)

So until next week, pop the kettle on and get reading.

Have a great week everyone.

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!

1. EV APP OF THE WEEK: ZAPMAP

UK’s No.1 EV mapping service - locate charge points, plan your journey and share updates with other EV drivers. With over 20,000 locations, 34,000 devices and 55,000 connectors mapped, Zapmap shows charge points from both the major networks and smaller providers across the UK and Republic of Ireland.

2. EV NEWS: DRIVE ELECTRIC

Autumn Budget 2026: what it means for EV drivers, fleets and van operators. Pay-per-mile road tax stays on track for April 2028, company car tax is now set out to 2030-31, on-street charging gets £100 million and there's new help to fund solar panels at home.

3. EV TIP: APPS

Get a couple of EV apps. Firstly, it’s a good idea to download multiple apps for your new EV, as different apps have different specialities and uses, plus it’s always good to cover your bases. There are of course the obvious recommendations such as an app that corresponds with the manufacturer of your car (you’ll get a lot of valuable information there, plus it’s often where you’ll receive necessary updates), a charging app for when you’re on the go, as well as an app that can help you plan journey ahead of time, which is particularly useful when you’re going on longer journeys.

4. EV STATISTICS & DATA: RAC

Electric vehicles (EVs) are now well and truly mainstream options in the new car market. But there’s still a long way to go before electric power overtakes petrol or diesel power in every new car and van market across the world. With the European Union relaxing its 2035 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars with new emissions rules, are we going to see a change of course? Our electric car guide analyses the growth of the EV market with all the key electric vehicle data and projections, including UK market insights and global statistics.

5. EV REVIEW: TOP ELECTRIC SUV

2027 Lexus TZ

First Look Review: Can the 2027 Lexus TZ jump-start the premium 3-row EV market? The Lexus TZ was unveiled in May 2026 as the brand’s first three-row electric SUV. We caught up with the upcoming model at Auto Zurich 2026, and experienced its design, features, and cabin comfort, in a global-spec version.
