The Government has backed an app which allows drivers to assess EV’s and which vehicle would suit their lifestyle the best.
The announcement coincided with World EV day, a global awareness campaign to help shift people away from petrol and diesel cars and into zero emission vehicles. The free app helps drivers calculate how much money they could save by switching to an EV compared to petrol or diesel cars. The app also highlights the Co2 savings and benefit to the environment.
The app further shows drivers where their nearest charging points are and which journeys, they can complete without needing to top up, a key feature that will help myth bust common fears like range anxiety and charging infrastructure.
The app has also been launched ahead of COP26 where global leaders will discuss how we collectively tackle the challenges currently facing the environment and how we can implement more sustainable practices across industry.
