Road transportation accounts for over 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Governments around the world have set targets to reduce those emissions. Following the rapid advancement in the Lithium-ion battery technology and the decreasing cost of production, electric vehicles now present an affordable and sustainable method of transport for the mass market.

The Department of Transport estimate that 94% of car journeys are under 25 miles long whilst Electric Vehicles have a range of 150 – 300 miles. Refuelling is being replaced by recharging. EV drivers expect to plug in and charge wherever they park. Public and private sector organisations are rolling out fast-charging infrastructure along the UKs highways to help with longer journeys and retailers up and down the country are beginning to install fast-chargers to attract customers.
