What It’s All About
Every year on 9th September, World EV Day celebrates the rise of electric vehicles and the positive change they bring to the UK and the planet. It’s a day to raise awareness, share knowledge and encourage everyone to consider the cleaner, greener way to get around.
Why World EV Day Matters
Since its launch in 2020, World EV Day has grown into a global event bringing together drivers, experts and enthusiasts passionate about sustainable transport. With the UK’s ambition to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, switching to electric cars is one of the biggest steps we can take to protect our environment and improve air quality in towns and cities.
Why Choose an Electric Vehicle in the UK?
The UK is in a great position right now for EV drivers. Here’s why making the switch makes sense:
More About Charging Your EV in the UK
Charging your electric car is getting easier every day thanks to advances in technology and the expanding infrastructure:
- Rapid chargers — located on motorways and major routes, these chargers can give you an 80% charge in 20 to 40 minutes, perfect for longer trips or topping up quickly.
- Fast chargers — commonly found at supermarkets, car parks and public places, these can charge your car in 3 to 4 hours, ideal for shopping or working away from home.
- Home chargers — the most popular choice for everyday charging. A dedicated home charger installed by an OZEV-approved electrician charges your car overnight, so you wake up to a full battery every day.
- Charging apps and RFID cards — easy-to-use apps and cards help you find, use and pay for public chargers hassle-free, often with real-time availability updates.
