1. EV Charge Locations: Speak EV

With the announcement by various charging networks such as GridServe and Osprey that they will be building hundreds of charging hubs over the next few years, it got me wondering what the current situation is for hubs.

They're likely to play a big part in long-term EV infrastructure and journey planning. How many of us are going to plan to stop at these specifically because we know we're very likely to be able to get a charge?

2. EV Hints: Money Saving Expert

The push towards electric vehicles (EVs) is growing and is likely to become more of a focus with the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to be banned by the end of 2030. We'll take you through how much they cost, how that compares to petrol and diesel cars, and everything else you need to know to help you decide if an EV is right for you now.

3. EV Tip: Charging Network

Driving at the fast Lane speed, as you would do in ice vehicles, will massively consume the battery and can suddenly lead on longer journeys due to a change in supercharger destination to a nearer one. 

Given not all superchargers are at motorway service stations (they can be 5-10 mins off the motorway) this sudden change in route plan can be a bit annoying. So drive at 70mph or make sure battery is fully topped at start of journey and be prepared from changes in supercharger stops along the route (which maybe a little off the motorway).

4. EV Cars: Autocar

New electric cars 2022: what's coming when. We take a look at some of the best new electric cars that will hit the streets over the next year and beyond.

5. EV Video: Fully Charged

Each week we will bring to you another episode in the 'Maddie Goes Electric' range. Today is Episode 2: Charging an electric car at home & locally (A beginner's guide)
