Electric and hybrid vehicles are increasing in popularity. These vehicles tend to be cleaner, quieter and cheaper to run.
As of January 2026, the UK had over 88,000 public electric vehicle (EV) charging points.
The best resource we’ve found to help answer all your questions surrounding EV’s is the Energy Saving Trust. FAQ’s are answered here and you can also book in a test drive for an EV.
