Easy EV Charging For Everyone If The Tories Return To Power


If you have concerns about the environment, as many people do, one way that you can help is by making your next car an electric vehicle instead of buying petrol or diesel. There are, of course, commercial charging stations, but not enough yet. However, all that is about to change if we get a Conservative government, because Boris Johnson said on his campaign trail only a couple of days ago that he intends to double spending on charging stations to £18 billion over the next five years and that nobody would be more than 30 miles from a charging station.



Of course, if you have off-street parking you can install a home EV charger which is ideal because you can charge your car overnight. Furthermore, you can also get an OLEV grant towards the cost of a home charger of up to £500, and if you live in Scotland you can get a further grant of £300 from the Energy Saving Trust, so between the two the major part of the cost is covered for you.



Many businesses are now starting to install chargers for their staff, and using a workplace charger may be free if your company decides to offer it as a perk. If the company has a sales team it will need to install chargers so that the salespeople can charge their cars when they attend the office for sales meetings. Office staff, too, will be able to drive to work and charge up during the day.
