1. EV APP OF THE WEEK: CONNECTED KERB
Probably the UK’s favourite charging app. We heard that electric vehicle drivers (that's you) hate charging apps because they’re not very user friendly and there’s too many to choose from. That’s why we’ve built a charging app that you can rely on, day in day out. Welcome to the world of Connected Kerb.
2. EV NEWS: THE DRIVEN
Breakthrough EV battery pack could last 2 million kms, or 130 years of average driving. Chinese manufacturer Gotion High-Tech has announced a new battery pack will go into mass production in 2024 that it says will deliver range of up to 1,000kms for a single charge and could last two million kms.
The company says the manganese doped L600 LMFP Astroinno will be able to do 4,000 full cycles at room temperature, and at high temperature will get 1800 cycles and over 1500 cycles of 18-minute fast charging.
3. EV TIP: USING THE RIGHT CAR MODE
Saving: Increase your range by 5% Many newer vehicles offer a range of driving modes, allowing you to pick the driving mode that best suits your environment, driving conditions, and mood. However, driving modes can have a big impact on the fuel consumption of your vehicle, ultimately costing you more in charging costs.
To keep your EV costs down, avoid driving modes like sport and 4 wheel drive. Instead, it’s estimated that you could boost your range on a single charge by about 5% by opting for an eco mode. Eco mode sends power back to your car battery when you break as well as regulating other fuel consuming aspects of driving (like your air con).

O’Reilly adds that “using different driving modes is needed in some situations and is fun to try out. But if you want to make your money go further, eco mode is the way to go.”
4. EV PODCAST: TOP ELECTRIC
Why Are Electric Cars Getting Still More Popular? Will Tesla Stay At The Top? As the world becomes more conscious about the impact of carbon emissions on the environment, electric cars are quickly gaining popularity as a sustainable and eco-friendly mode of transportation.
In this video, we explore why electric cars are becoming more popular by the day, and the benefits they offer over traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. We'll look at the technology behind electric cars and how it's improving, making them more efficient, affordable, and convenient for everyday use.
5. EV REVIEW: WHAT CAR?
BMW i4
Thinking about going electric but don’t want to shout it from the rooftops? Well, the BMW i4 could be the car for you. While BMW’s first electric car – the outlandish-looking BMW i3 – was designed from the ground up to run on electricity, the i4 looks like what it essentially is: an electric version of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe.
As far as we’re concerned, that close relationship is a very good thing indeed. The BMW 4 Series and the car it's based on, the BMW 3 Series saloon, sit at the top of their respective classes.
