⚡ This week we launched #ElectrifyLondon, a call for all London candidates this May to raise their ambition on cleaning up our roads.
Road transport is one of London’s biggest climate and air quality challenges: 28% of CO₂ emissions and 42% of NOx, with serious impacts on health and net zero goals.

Confidence in #EVs is growing, with more drivers making the switch each year.
But misinformation is holding people back, shaping public opinion in ways that don’t reflect real-world experience.
That’s why we’re launching our new member workshop series with a session on tackling EV misinformation.

On Times Radio with Alexis Conran, CEO Vicky Edmonds highlighted that "EV drivers worry less about the availability of charging and more about the price of public charging".
More chargers matter, but when charging on the go can cost up to 10x more than at home, price becomes the biggest barrier.

Our cross-pavement charging survey is closing soon, and early findings show a gap between what drivers want and what’s available.
Most drivers without driveways say cross-pavement charging would work for them but many report it isn’t permitted or available in their council even when demand is high.

👑 The Planning & Infrastructure Bill receives Royal Assent!
CEO Vicky Edmonds says it's "a major step forward for EV drivers."
"By accelerating chargepoint rollout and embedding accessibility through PAS 1899, it ensures future charging points are reliable and safe for drivers with disabilities.

While the EU has taken steps to water down plans to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, we keep seeing continued and unhelpful debate in the press about the future of the UK's ZEV targets.

⚡ The Electric Car Grant has expanded again, with BMW and Renault models joining the list of EVs eligible for the full £3,750 discount.
Backed by £1.5bn of fresh funding announced in the Autumn Budget, this is another nudge to help drivers cut upfront costs and boost the EV transition.

Today’s #Budget delivered some welcome steps forward for the UK’s #EV transition.
But it also raised serious concerns about the road ahead.
EVA England CEO, Victoria Edmonds:
"This is completely the wrong time to be taxing EV drivers when they still make up only 5% of vehicles on UK roads.

Huge news for accessible #EV charging! ⚡️
We welcome the Government’s new amendment to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill, providing clear powers to ensure accessibility isn’t left to chance, and giving industry and local authorities greater certainty when planning and delivering public charging.

This could mean charging from just 2p per mile and saving up to £250 in fees.
