1. EV APP OF THE WEEK: EV HOTELS

As Easter is just around the corner we thought this App would come in handy. Find your favourite Hotels that have Electric Car Charging! Worldwide App to find and reserve hotels with EV (Electric Vehicle) charging facilities. The #1 road trip planning tool for EV drivers.
 


2. EV NEWS: BBC NEWS

Electric vehicle (EV) drivers in Swindon look set to benefit from funding to install up to 600 charging points in residential areas. Swindon Borough Council has received a grant of £2.3m from the government's Local Electric Infrastructure fund. This means a year from now it should be easier for residents to have access to charging points for cars and vans.

3. EV TIP: DRIVING STYLE

Does my driving style affect range? Just like a petrol or diesel car, smoother driving is more efficient. If you accelerate hard and brake a lot you’ll use more power than if you accelerate gently and let the car’s regenerative braking slow you down. And as with petrol or diesel, higher speeds also use more power, so driving faster is less efficient.

Other factors have an effect, too. Batteries are less efficient when they’re cold, while hilly journeys use more energy than flat ones.

 


4. EV PODCAST: CAR WOW

530hp Model Y Performance v 565hp Fisker: DRAG RACE. We’ve got Mat in the Fisker Ocean, and he’s facing off against the Tesla Model Y Performance! The question is, can this new EV player perform against the class-leading Tesla?
