2. EV NEWS: ELECTREK

Ford to help F-150 Lightning owners save on electricity costs with new V2H partnership. Ford aims to help F-150 Lightning owners save on monthly electricity costs with a new vehicle-to-home (V2H) partnership. The “first-of-its-kind collaboration” will use the Lightning’s powerful battery with smart thermostat tech to unlock new savings.


3. EV TIP: FREE CHARGING POINTS

Free charge points are mostly found at big supermarkets. According to Zap-Map (the app we have included), 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 PODCAST: INSIDE EVS

Today on the InsideEVs Podcast, we'll be talking about the start of Tesla Cybertruck deliveries, and the Tesla Cybertruck Delivery Event.


5. EV REVIEW: PARKERS

Smart 3 SUV: With the traditional two-door coupe almost at the death rattle stage of its life, it’s cars like the Smart #3 that have picked up the style baton.
