IS 2020 A GAME CHANGER YEAR FOR EV’S?

Are you ready?

Are we ready from an infrastructure point of view?

Are we ready, as consumers, make that giant leap?

There’s no question that we have to be at some point.

Apart from the fact that as almost all of us have been told since childhood that the oil is running out and the fact that, we now know just how much damage has been done to our air quality and lungs by conventional, internal combustion-engine cars, we simply now have to switch to electric power to try and help prevent or at least soften the looming catastrophe of runaway climate change.

Fundamentally there is a surge of electric vehicles coming to the automotive industry. Some brands are embracing the EV switch faster than others and there is a battle not to be last.

This year alone Volkswagen have emerged and have cemented a huge commitment to going electric. Their latest move, with the ID range sets a president and is in my view a real game changer in the automotive sector. Their new ID3 is a purpose built EV that looks cool and very much appeals to the younger driver. I’m even more excited about the electric camper van, for years we’ve seen various concepts, and this looks likely to become reality

On the commercial vehicle front we see a huge demand to go all electric and with Amazons commitment to order 100,000 electric vans the march towards electrification is picking up speed. With all these exciting new vehicles arriving on our-shores the demand for smart infrastructure to support them is going to rise… Are you ready?

Viva Electric!
