Used EV sales are growing fast, with buyers attracted by second-hand value, improved battery longevity, low running costs and the way they drive Used car EV sales are growing faster than new EV sales right now and it’s easy to see why, since electric cars tend to lose their value pretty
The first electric Rolls-Royce in the modern era is as vast as it is luxurious, with a quiet ride and boundless options for customisation, but falls short of perfection The Spectre is a car that needs very little explanation: it’s a Rolls-Royce that also happens to be electric. Although lacking the usual V12 engine, it
Half of ICE drivers want to shift to electric vehicles (EV) due to the cheaper running costs as they feel the squeeze at the fuel pump, new research has found. The findings from an Octopus Electric Vehicles survey also found that once drivers go to battery power they won’t return, with 96% stating their
Elon Musk is never far from a headline these days, from his recent inflammatory posts about the far-right riots in the UK to his endorsement of Donald Trump for president. But his increasingly toxic rhetoric is having a knock-on effect: some Tesla owners are starting to rethink whether they should own his electric cars
The introduction of electric cars has been quite the rollercoaster ride, hasn’t it? Government grants aimed at reducing the price gap between electric and internal-combustion cars came and went, while showroom prices have generally remained disappointingly high. And three years into my own EV ownership, I wanted to find a cheaper way to keep doing
The 600MW development will comprise four ground mounted solar PV generating stations in West Lindsay, Lincolnshire, four onsite substations and a battery energy storage system (BESS).

Yamaha, a piano company, also makes motorcycles. Bose, an audio company, happens to also make suspension seats for truck drivers. And EcoFlow, a company known for its portable power stations, decided to enter the fashion market. However, it isn’t that much of a curveball, to be honest – because the product in question still somewhat
Likely to remain the UK’s cheapest EV for the foreseeable future, the Spring isn’t without its compromises, but it will more than do the job for someone wanting an EV as a second family car or an urban runabout The Dacia Spring has already been a smash hit for the Renault-owned brand across continental Europe, and we
Scientists from Swansea University have developed a new tool to help identify optimal photovoltaic (PV) materials capable of maximizing crop growth while generating solar power. In a recent study published in Solar RRL, academics from the University's Department of Physics have been exploring the effect of semi-transparent PV materials placed over crops – an
New research shows that petrol and diesel car drivers are tempted to make the switch to electric vehicles as fuel costs increase New research by Octopus Electric Vehicles shows that one in two (47 per cent) drivers of petrol and diesel cars are tempted to switch to electric vehicles (EVs) because of cheaper running costs.
