Excellent news from @SMMT today, with the market share of electric vehicles at almost 21% ⬆🚗

We’re the second largest electric vehicle market in Europe – and we’re supporting the transition further with over £300m announced in the Budget to boost uptake.

A lot of media coverage today about EVs being more likely to hit pedestrians than petrol/diesel vehicles. Earlier this year I penned a piece for @Road_Safety_GB highlighting why EVs are NOT silent killers. Read it below.

Our network growth continues apace and you can see from this little @zap_map graphic that @connectedkerb is a market leader when it comes to on-street charging provision. We've installed over 6000 sockets (the graphic shows devices), with 4000 to come in 2024 - the switch to EV is alive and kicking! #connectedforgood

We're proud to have launched smart charging across several areas of the UK, offering cheaper tariffs to try and narrow the cost between home and public charging.

Pleased to say that @mkcouncil,
@SunderlandUK, @lincolncouncil @RyedaleDC and @ShropCouncil now allow EV drivers the chance to schedule a public charge during off-peak periods with @connectedkerb chargers.
