Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Your daily commute may never be the same.
As we enter the next phase of the pandemic, the UK government are implementing careful, measured approaches to reopen the economy and get the country back on its feet.
Never will there have been more occupiers wishing to drive their EVs to work.
Since the outbreak, we have seen usage figures in transportation shift noticeably. In order to commute in a safer environment, we are being encouraged to consider alternative forms of commuting outside of public transport.
Motor vehicle usage in the UK fell by two-thirds from March to April, particularly after lockdown was introduced on the 23rd March.
However, cars have remained the most-used form of transport, and we have seen week-on-week increases since the lockdown era.
Across Great Britain, the Department of Transport estimates 68% of people travel to work in a car, but that still means millions take public transport into their workplace. It is widely forecasted that the trend of commuting by car is set to incline for the foreseeable future.
The Future
June 2019 – June 2020, sales of battery powered EVs grew by 261%.
This is due to various factors such as government stimulus programmes, subsidies and zero emission plans that will all lead to the continual high demand for
electric vehicles.
Over 50 EV models are on the market today and many models have 230+ mile ranges now.
By 2020, price parity between EVs and internal combustion engines is expected to be met.
