Hi, I’m Alan, owner of local company EV Consulting. With my motor trade background of over thirty years, I have always been passionate about and fascinated by virtually anything with four wheels - and now especially with Electric Vehicles. I don’t think any of us could


have been fully prepared for the way in which the demand for EVs has rocketed in this last year or so, and with the transition to EVs now firmly underway every car manufacturer is now scrambling to launch new models as fast as possible. Inevitably, there are bound to be hiccups along the way. This is the biggest change the motor industry has ever faced – but like it or not, it will happen, and over the next few years mass adoption will take place. Now while the cars will keep on


coming, what is more of a concern is how and where to charge them up. Many people, keen to make the decision to replace their fossil fuel burning car and go electric, are hesitating to make the switch to an EV because they have nowhere to recharge them. You yourself may well have considered making the change but have – understandably – been put off by this lack of charging points. Unfortunately, the South Hams is particularly poor for public chargers right now, however there is a way to help improve this situation. If you have space off road to park and charge an EV, not only could you solve your re-charging problem, but you could also generate revenue for yourself by installing a charge point and renting it out. This is a growing trend across the country right now, which is helping people to make that decision.


If you already have an EV and


your own charging point, the chances are you’ll only need to charge it up once or maybe twice a week – meaning that for the rest of the time your charger is not in use, when it could actually be working for you and for those around you. Imagine helping neighbours who don’t have space to charge at home: you can agree a time and a price and they are sure to be delighted to have somewhere nearby to use. It’s called community charging (CC), and it works. As an added benefit, if you


have your own solar panels and your charger is powered by them, so much the better. There is also a selection of green electricity providers who will supply grid energy that is 100% renewably generated. This can all be run very simply, using an App on your phone.


If you feel that your Dream EV may now be a step closer, or if you just have the space for a charging point and would be interested in making that space work for you, I will be happy to help: ● I can advise you on all aspects of CC and where to start, and I use a local company with certified and OLEV registered technicians to carry out the work.


● I can help you find out more about how you can help the environment and pay for your charger at the same time.


● I can also help businesses install electric vehicle charge points (EVCP). There are government grants available, and good revenue streams can be generated.
