WELCOME

MAKE SPACE FOR ALL ELECTRIFICATION OPTIONS

Charging is the trend of this year and alleviating — as Sam Clarke explained at EV Magazine LIVE —‘ EV bashing ’. It ’ s occurred to me that , despite all the good news out there in the big wide world , around electrification and the climate benefits , there are also many individuals that still oppose the idea .
Petrol heads , anti-passenger vehicles , and public transport advocates are yet
to understand how all sustainable solutions — whether electric , hydrogen , or hybrid — can work together .
Shared mobility is changing the way commuters ride to work , but e-scooter and bike share schemes are seen to have a place alongside that of private bicycles . When we look at charging , it ’ s apparent that there is more effort to be made to ensure accessibility to charging in order to encourage more consumers to buy , rent , or lease electric cars . And the need for zero-emission public transport remains .
The question , you may ask , is “ how will all of this come together ?” Needless to say , the mindset shift continues .
