It's EV Tuesday!
1st September 2026
Good morning to our EV Tuesday readers.
Here we are a new month. We are now in the 'ber' months which means darker nights, colder days, and crisp mornings. Let's hope there isn't too much rain, maybe a bot of snow!
Anyhow, now is the time to start using that pre-conditioning app on your car, make sure it is nice and warm for when you start your journey.
As always, we have a great selection of goodies for you to read through this week including an event you can head along to. So, grab that drink and sit down for 20 minutes as you read through this weeks' EV Tuesday newsletter.
We will be posting this to our social media channels including Twitter & Reddit (check out r/evcables subreddit). If you have access to our blog, you will get an extra item :)
Get involved and give us any ideas in the comments, they may well get used next week!
Right, ready.....steady.........GO!!
Feedback, Requests, Questions?
As always, please give us feedback on Twitter. Which item is your favourite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Just send a tweet to @ev_cables and put #EVTuesdays at the end so we can find it.
Have a great week everyone and happy reading!
1. EV APP OF THE WEEK: WAZE
Waze is popular with non-EV and EV drivers alike, thanks to its ease of use and community-driven data. Drivers share information about traffic, road conditions, incidents, speed cameras, and other useful navigational updates that can help you avoid lengthy traffic jams.
Waze supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — but if you’re a Tesla driver, there’s even more good news. A dedicated Tesla Waze website allows you to use Waze on your Tesla screen, so you can take advantage of the millions of community updates that make Waze one of the most popular navigation apps for drivers.

5. EV REVIEW: AUTO EXPRESS
Mercedes CLA Electric
The Mercedes CLA Electric emphatically put the brand back on the right track after some underwhelming model launches. Its chassis feels superbly engineered in a way that previous EQ electric models didn’t, and efficiency is class-leading. There’s a sophisticated interior, an abundance of tech and exceptional cruising ability, too.
Although it’s expensive and we’re still waiting for true performance thrills to come from the AMG variant, the CLA Electric is easily one of Mercedes’ most convincing new offerings in recent years.

6. EV ETIQUETTE: BYD
As electric cars continue to become a familiar sight on UK roads, they’re reshaping more than just how we drive: they’re also challenging our expectations around social responsibility and the courtesy that comes with travelling with others. One question in particular continues to spark debate: Who should pay to charge the car on a shared journey?
Until next time. Have a fantastic week!
