GRIDSERVE : THE CHARGING DILEMMA . WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ?

Someone who is at the forefront of the UK ’ s charging infrastructure development is Sam Clarke , Chief Vehicle Officer at GRIDSERVE Sustainable Energy Limited .
As an EV driver of 20 + years , Clarke is now working with the team at GRIDSERVE to electrify the nation by means of its Electric Highway project . One of the points addressed by Clarke in the current ‘ EV bashing ’, which is seemingly whittling away as more and more drivers make the shift to electrified cars .
“ We ’ ve got a lot of misinformation here and if you ’ re going to look at the media or news then please make sure that it is fact checked ,” Clarke explains as he believes that many of the opinions from influencers discredit the country ’ s electrification capabilities .
After citing some key statistics on charger installation requirements and where to find them , Clarke stresses the importance of taking action over dwelling on the challenges ahead .
“ It ’ s about the right chargers , at the right places , at the right time . It ’ s not about a big number that frightens everybody .”
