1. EV APP OF THE WEEK: ALL STAR
Introducing the new Allstar Co-Pilot app, download today and make sure you are getting the most from your Allstar card. Allstar Co-Pilot provides drivers with a hassle-free experience when it comes to recharging and refuelling on the road, making expensive detours and downtime waiting for chargers to be available a thing of the past, helping businesses save both time and money.
2. EV NEWS: THE INDEPENDENT
More than 140,000 motorists have benefited from a government scheme designed to reduce the cost of electric vehicles (EVs) in its first year, the Department for Transport (DfT) has revealed. The Electric Car Grant, launched on 16 July last year with £2 billion in funding, offers discounts of either £1,500 or £3,750 on new EV purchases, determined by sustainability criteria.
3. EV TIP: FREE CHARGE POINTS
Free charge points are mostly found at big supermarkets. According to Zap-Map, there are about 5,000 free charge points in the UK. To find them, it allows you to filter by payment method, including free-to-use ones.
Many free EV charge points are at supermarkets (about a quarter), though you can find them at a range of locations, including public and retail car parks, car dealership forecourts, and at hotels and B&Bs, among others.
Most free chargers are 'fast' 7 kilowatt (kW) connections – so if you're shopping for an hour or so you'd get about £2 worth of free juice for your car, or about 30 miles.
4. EV EVENT: EV CHARGE LIVE
22nd - 24th September EVCharge Live UK is the UK’s premier electric vehicle charging infrastructure exhibition, featuring over 100 global exhibitors showcasing thousands of innovative EV products, hardware, and software solutions.
More than 150 expert speakers will provide critical insights on grid bottlenecks, depot rollout, fleet decarbonisation, market trends, government policies, and commercial deployment opportunities.
