1. EV APP OF THE WEEK: AA

Like other parking apps, the AA app shows you available parking spaces near your destination, as well as electric charging point availability. But this app has way more functionality than just parking. You can get breakdown support, plan routes, and even find a great place to have lunch on a long journey.

2. TETHERED v's UNTETHERED EV CABLES: US! EVCABLES.COM

EV Chargers: Tethered Vs Untethered Deciding on the perfect EV charger for your home can be a blast, especially when you're armed with the right info. So, buckle up as we journey into the world of tethered and untethered chargers, exploring their differences, as well as their pros and cons.

3. EV TIP: BREAKDOWNS

If you need assistance because you've run out of charge, it won't normally be possible to get your EV moving again, so don't put yourself at risk by trying to get a friend to tow it - leave it to the professionals. Even if you're not a member, major breakdown services including the AA, RAC and Green Flag will come to rescue you.

Before help arrives, check your EV handbook for any restrictions on towing, which may damage the car's systems. While some EVs can be towed, as long as their drive wheels are kept off the ground, others can only be moved on a flat-bed truck. If you're not sure, insist on a flat-bed - it avoids the risk of major damage to your car.

4. EV NEWS: VOLKSWAGEN NEWSROOM

World premiere of the ID. 2all concept:

The electric car from Volkswagen costing less than 25,000 euros. The Volkswagen brand is continuing the success story of its compact cars in the age of electric mobility and is providing a first glimpse of an all-electric Volkswagen costing less than 25,000 euros with the ID. 2all concept car.

5. EV REVIEW: WHAT CAR?

Skoda Enyaq vRS

The Skoda Enyaq vRS is the sportiest, range-topping version of the Czech brand's electric SUV – and that's a promising starting point for a car. You see, we're big fans of the Skoda Enyaq because it's comfortable, practical and well-priced. In short, it's a sensible choice that's ideally suited to family buyers. So a more performance-focused vRS version that aims to give the model a dose of fun without compromising its strengths should be very appealing.
