EV Tuesday Week 173

It's EV Tuesday!

29th April 2025

Good morning to our EV Tuesday community. Easter has been and gone, now it is time for a long weekend. What are your plans for the Bank Holiday Weekend ahead? Taking your EV out for a drive, having a BBQ in the garden or just relaxing in the sun (hopefully).

Whatever your plans may be, why not include sitting down to have a flick through this weeks' EV Tuesday newsletter and enjoy all the goodies we have found for you.

We will be posting this to our social media channels including Facebook, Twitter & Reddit (check out r/evcables subreddit). If you have access to our blog, you will get an extra item :) 
 
Right, ready.....steady.........GO!!

Have a great week everyone and happy reading! 

1. EV APP OF THE WEEK: EV NOTIFY

EVNotify allows you to track the state of charge as well as data such as charging power of your electric vehicle from distance. It gives you notification when the desired state of charge has been achieved or your charge interrupted! Only available on Android not IOS.

 


2. EV NEWS: ENERGY NEWS LIVE

UK hits EV milestone as vehicle numbers reach record high. More than 1.3 million electric cars on our roads as total vehicle ownership rises to 42 million. The number of vehicles on Britain’s roads hit a record 41.96 million in 2024, up 1.4% from the previous year, according to new data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).



3. EV TIP: EV TARIFF

Shop around for a good EV Tariff. EV tariffs are almost always dual-rate, which means you’ll pay less to charge your car when electricity demand is at its lowest and usually that’s overnight. That suits a great number of electric car owners, who often get into the habit of plugging it in when they get home in the evening. For these drivers, scheduling their charging directly from their car or via an app, either synced to the smart wallbox or provided by the electricity supplier, can make this whole procedure very easy indeed.



4. EV CHARGING NETWORK: SHELL RECHARGE

Shell Recharge is our electric vehicle (EV) charging network, offering EV drivers electricity from 100% certified renewable sources* with every charge. Shell Recharge offers wide coverage, fast charging and easy planning.



5. EV REVIEW: CAR AND DRIVER

Lexus ES EV

2026 Lexus ES Gets Bigger and Offers Hybrid or EV Powertrains. Lexus has completely reworked its bread-and-butter sedan, which will come as a hybrid and a fully electric model when it reaches the U.S. in 2026. When Toyota overhauled the popular Camry sedan for the 2025 model year—introducing sharper styling and, more importantly, a standard hybrid powertrain—we knew it wouldn't be long before its platform-mate, the Lexus ES, entered a new generation too.

6. EV CONVERSION: TOP GEAR

This is how you turn a gorgeous old Volvo P1800 into an electric car. We sit down with Silent Classics to get some intel on its latest one-off. EV conversions for classic cars are becoming big business these days: familiar looks matched up with cleaner, greener propulsion. But what exactly does the transformation process look like?


 
Until next time. Have a fantastic week!
