Does buying an #EV online mean missing out on the advice you'd get in a showroom? Not if it's done right. We spoke to Rob King at e-Car Lease about how they make sure customers have the information they need at every stage of the journey.

What does an EV specialist actually do? For Ben Traviss at Lloyd North Tyneside BMW & MINI, that means visiting customers at home to answer the questions that only arise once you've actually lived with your EV. "I don't sell electric cars. I help people replace uncertainty with confidence."

For many drivers, the dealership is their first real introduction to electric vehicles. So the experience matters. Yet only 1 in 4 used EV buyers rate their dealership handover as good or excellent, compared with 34% of new car buyers, according to our latest nationwide survey.

🚗⚡ August registration figures are out, showing another record month for #EVs, at a time when the Government has opened a consultation on the ZEV Mandate. This consultation could weaken the very targets that have driven the growth we're seeing month after month. 📊 Data: newautomotive.org/ecc

🚗⚡ July registration figures show that electric vehicles just had their strongest July on record, outpacing the ZEV Mandate's required trajectory for a second month running, while petrol and diesel registrations continued their decline. 📊 Data: newautomotive.org/ecc

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 05/08/2026

Individual grants for home chargepoints have increased to £500, but funding for shared infrastructure in multi-occupancy buildings has been removed.

120

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 29/07/2026

The conversation about EV charging often focuses on the number of chargepoints. But as our CEO Vicky Edmonds explained on BBC Radio 4's You and Yours on Monday, "it's not about chargepoints being available, it's about them being at the right price and being accessible too."

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 15/07/2026

We've written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, urging her to pause and rethink #eVED, the proposed pay-per-mile tax on EVs. The Government published its consultation response on Monday, confirming it intends to press ahead, but the fundamental concerns raised by drivers still aren't resolved.

110

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 06/07/2026

🚗⚡June was one of the strongest months on record for EV adoption, with #EVs making up almost 1 in 3 new cars registered. 📊 Data: newautomotive.org/ecc Our CEO, Vicky Edmonds, said: "This is another exceptionally strong month for EVs and further proof that drivers are increasingly choosing electric.

130

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 22/06/2026

Drivers aren't being mandated to buy electric, they have to choose to. So if the transition doesn't work for them, it just doesn't work. That's why we've written to the Secretary of State for Transport, calling for an urgent meeting following the recent media debate about weakening the ZEV Mandate.

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 12/06/2026

We're thrilled to share that our Charge Up Change campaign was runner-up in the SMK National Campaigner Awards 2026's Best Consumer Rights Campaigns category! While we didn't take the top prize, this reflects the brilliant work our team has put into pushing for a fairer deal for EV drivers.

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 05/06/2026

We've launched Putting the Driver First, our new white paper. It makes the case for an EV transition that works for everyone - not just drivers with driveways, a budget for new cars or easy access to home charging. 📑 Full report: www.evaengland.org.uk/our-work/putt…

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 02/06/2026

Over 2 million EVs are now on UK roads. More and more households are looking at making the switch. And despite mixed signals from politicians, drivers know that electric is the future. But the transition isn't working for everyone yet. Tomorrow, we're taking that message to Parliament 🚗⚡

120

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 26/05/2026

That's a wrap on our 2026 member workshop series! 🎉 7 workshops. Hundreds of EV drivers. Experts from across the industry. And now, our brand new EV Driver Strategy is launching on 3rd June in Westminster.

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 14/05/2026

Next Thursday, we're back with another EVA England member workshop 🚗 ⚡ This time we'll focus on experiences with dealerships and service centres because getting the right support can still feel like pot luck for many drivers, especially those new to EVs.

100

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 28/04/2026

We've asked our members where they like to charge 🚗 ⚡ Their answers tell a story the national conversation often misses: there are genuinely great places to charge in England, from scenic views in Cornwall to a farm shop in Gloucestershire. As one driver put it, “charge and do touristy stuff”!

110

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 22/04/2026

Yesterday's Government announcement to introduce permitted development rights for EV charging and cross-pavement solutions is a major breakthrough for the millions without driveways who currently face a two-tier system of higher costs and fewer options.

130

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 16/04/2026

EVs are smoother, quieter, and cheaper to run. Drivers are ready to make the switch. Now the charging network needs to deliver. That’s why we're supporting Electrify London, calling on those standing for election this May to commit to charging that is reliable, affordable, and easy to use.

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 30/03/2026

The proposed pay per mile tax for EV drivers (eVED) carries real risk. If introduced at the wrong time or in the wrong way, it risks stalling the EV transition. EVA England CEO, Vicky Edmonds: "2028 is way too soon. 2030 is when the market should be looking more stable."

240

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 26/03/2026

Yesterday, our CEO Vicky Edmonds appeared before the Transport Select Committee to deliver a clear message: EV owners love their cars, but data from our latest survey shows that concerns over the pay-per-mile (eVED) scheme and public charging costs are hitting consumer confidence hard.

130

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 17/03/2026

Our CEO, Victoria Edmonds, will be speaking at Optimal Charging on Tuesday next week. She’ll be joining industry leaders across energy, transport, finance and real estate to discuss the Changing Dynamics in the UK EV Charging Ecosystem.

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 25/02/2026

The Government has announced today new funding to expand EV charging across England, making it easier for people without driveways to plug in at home and at work. From 1 April, renters, flat owners, and businesses will be able to claim up to £500 off the cost of installing an EV chargepoint.

121

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 19/02/2026

Your miles, your say 🚗⚡ The Government is proposing a new pay-per-mile scheme for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, known as eVED. From April 2028, the cost of driving electric would change significantly: - Battery electric vehicles would pay 3p per mile - Plug-in hybrids 1.5p per mile

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 11/02/2026

We are delighted to welcome Natasha Robinson to the EVA England Board. Natasha brings extensive experience in transport decarbonisation and road pricing policy at a time when decisions about the future of road funding and EV charging are becoming increasingly important.

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 11/02/2026

With fuel duty revenues expected to decline, the Government announced at the last Budget that it is exploring options to introduce pay-per-mile charges for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, often referred to as eVED. At the same time, a major review of public charging is underway.

📅 Second-hand EVs | Friday, 6th February Most drivers buy used cars, but far fewer buy used EVs. We will be joined by Marc Palmer (Autotrader) and Thomas McLennan (BVRLA) to understand what is holding people back and what needs to change to make the second-hand EV market work for everyday drivers.

CEO Vicky Edmonds, is "in the driving seat", alongside Melanie Shufflebotham from @zapmap.com, in the latest episode of Erin Baker's podcast. They discuss the different ways they support EV drivers - and those considering the switch to electric - and what led them into careers in the EV space.

100

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 22/01/2026

Millions of drivers risk missing out on affordable home charging, as new evidence shows those without driveways are being locked out from cross-pavement solutions by cost, confusion and council delays. In our latest survey, drivers are urging government to act on this ‘charging divide’.

140

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 19/01/2026

We are back on Friday for the second workshop of our series. 🚗 ⚡ This time we're focusing on the consumer experience at public chargepoints as for many EV drivers, this experience remains inconsistent and, at times, frustrating.

110

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 14/01/2026

On Times Radio with Alexis Conran, CEO Vicky Edmonds highlighted that "EV drivers worry less about the availability of charging and more about the price of public charging". More chargers matter, but when charging on the go can cost up to 10x more than at home, price becomes the biggest barrier.

120

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 09/01/2026

Confidence in #EVs is growing, with more drivers making the switch each year. But misinformation is holding people back, shaping public opinion in ways that don’t reflect real-world experience. That’s why we’re launching our new member workshop series with a session on tackling EV misinformation.

121

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 06/01/2026

🚗⚡ 2026 is off to a strong start as the registration figures from December point to sustained growth in #EV adoption.

🚗⚡ November’s #EV sales figures are in, and the picture is increasingly clear: the shift to electric is well underway. @newautomotive.org reports that EVs made up more than a quarter of new car sales last month - a strong sign that the electric market is continuing to mature. 1/

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 05/11/2025

🚗⚡October stats show that #EVs remain the clear growth story as their market share reached 26% of all new cars sold - the highest so far this year.

110

EVA England @evaengland.org.uk · 31/10/2025

⚡ Our latest survey report shows that while most #EV drivers love their cars, those without driveways are being left behind. Nearly 9 in 10 drivers with driveways say their EV is much cheaper to run than petrol or diesel, but only half of drivers without driveways agree.
