We'd recommend signing up for accounts with Ecotricity's Electric Highway and Chargemaster's Polar Network. You'll need to download relevant phone apps to access the chargers.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
