ARTICLE... Tools, training & support available for those entering the arena of EV repair & maintenance, plus a look at the role of hydrogen as an alternative power source and electrifying classic cars. The UK has the second largest new electric car market by volume in Europe with businesses driving the uptake through fleet sales, which are now filtering down to the used car market and into independent workshops for maintenance and repairs. Figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) earlier this year showed Britain’s millionth battery electric car (BEV) joined the road – a milestone that’s been more than 20 years in the making. In April 2024, 16.9% of all new car registrations were electric cars, and it is expected that BEVs will represent over a fifth of the market in 2024. https://lnkd.in/e-dpfJxC

It has been an absolute joy being in that driving seat.....not only of my #zeroemission travels, but with regards to our #energyefficiency rEVolution at home too, where the car is an integral part....now looking forward to when I can use up to 10,000 kWhs of stored energy from the car to power other home appliances via the car's #BiDirectionalCharging.

Norway with a new EV record! Of all new cars sold in 2023, 82.4 percent were electric - fully electric that is. I believe we can reach 95 percent in 2024 and really hope we do. Because in 2025 the goal is 100 percent. Norsk elbilforening Drive Electric #EV #elbil Roger Atkins Nordic EV Summit

Bidding farewell to the absolute speed demon of the electric world, the Kia EV6 GT! 🚀💨 The rear of this beast is all many will ever see, given its mind-blowing acceleration. Just one press of the green button on the steering wheel activates GT mode, delivering neck-snapping, license-risking acceleration. 😳🏁 Today, we had to say goodbye to the GT as it moves on to its next evaluation customer. The consensus in the office? Well, let's just say the GT is TOO FAST! 😅 As a self-proclaimed petrol head, I must admit, I love this thing. If you're always running late, have a mountain of solar power, and dream of building a fleet of these electric beasts, I'm here to help make your electrifying dreams come true! (PS you wont be late anymore)⚡🌞🚗 Let's talk about how the future of speed can also be sustainable. 💚 #KiaEV6GT #ElectricPerformance #SpeedDemon #Sustainability #EV #GreenEnergy #fleetmanagement
