2. EV NEWS: SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL

Surrey County Council and Connected Kerb have agreed a contract to support the rollout of thousands of electric vehicle chargepoints across the county in the coming years.

The contract, the largest in the UK to date, will release up to £60million of investment for Connected Kerb to install public EV chargepoints across the county. The aim will be to install thousands over the next five years and Connected Kerb have been licensed to operate the chargepoints for 15 years from installation.

3. EV TIP: LEARN THE EV LINGO

In order to make a difference, you need to embrace difference. That includes getting used to a new vocabulary and blowing the dust off your physics knowledge:

kW (kilowatt): 1,000 watts – with EVs, it’s used mostly to reflect the electric motor’s maximum power output.

kWh (kilowatt-hour): The amount of electricity a 1,000W appliance uses per hour.

MPkWh (miles per kilowatt-hour): The estimated miles an EV can go on one kilowatt-hour of battery.

MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent): The same as MPkWh, but in a more relatable form if you’re used to comparing petrol or diesel cars.

Regenerative braking: A method of braking used by EVs as well as hybrids to store and use energy recovered from braking.

Off-peak charging: Charging your EV during the less busy times of day for a lower cost.

Range: The distance you can travel before the battery requires a recharge or you need to visit the pumps – simply expressed in miles or kilometres.

Range anxiety: The worry that your car’s battery will run out before you arrive at your destination or get a chance to recharge.

4. EV CHARGING NETWORKS: SHELL CHARGING SOLUTIONS

One ecosystem for your charging needs. From hardware to software, Shell Recharge Solutions offers integrated solutions for charging at home, at work and on-the-go.

5. EV REVIEW: CAR WOW

Tesla Model Y

The Tesla Model Y is an electric SUV that is a cutting-edge alternative to models such as the BMW iX3, Audi Q4 e-tron and Mercedes EQB.

Based on the hugely popular Model 3, it’s a bit like if someone uploaded a picture of a Model 3 into Photoshop and started stretching its proportions.

It’s longer and ever so slightly wider, but noticeably (more than 15cm) taller, meaning it looks more like a shrunken Model X.

6. EV PODCAST: ELECTREK
