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.
