A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.

All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!

No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.

I cant argue with someones' nan's facebook feed telling them outright lies, but there is a hell of alot of misinformation being peddled - and not just from anti-EV people. Some very pro-EV people also talk total shit. If you havnt considered it, why not?

Money! I can just afford a heavily used car. I don't have the luxury of choice.

when we got ours in 2019 there was a decent government grant and electricty was basically free on the driveway which we no longer have. Even installing a 32amp plug costs £1k now, ours was £300 ish. I think the strategy is to allow the upper middle classes to go first
