If any of you think aspects of the public charging network are less than brilliant, please consider completing this survey from the EVA (Electric Vehicle Association) England.
For those that may not be aware of it (it’s relatively young) EVA England is a membership organisation supporting existing, new and prospective EV drivers.
They intend to feed the findings into their response to the recent Government consultation.
One of the key points which I will be making, and which hopefully others agree with me on, is that the situation at motorways services needs fixing immediately. We cannot afford to wait for improved grid connections which are likely 2-3+ years away in many cases, and we cannot afford to keep waiting for Ecotricity to fail to deliver on their promisies.
I gather that the EVA have good connections with OZEV, so my hope would be if enough EV drivers voice their opinion about the state of motorway charging to the EVA, that the EVA will then be in a position to convey a strong message to OZEV, who may in turn then realise that immediate action is needed to address the existing motorway charging offer — in advance of the improved grid connections coming along in several years.
Some of the larger networks, I firmly believe, would be more than willing to fund the installation of new (probably 50kW) units to replace the old Ecotricity units — but it needs Government intervention, which in turn probably needs the EVA to lean on OZEV, which in turn probably needs us lot to make our opinions known to EVA so they can present a strong case.
Over to you!
(it runs until 15 March 2021 so if you would like to contribute you don’t have too long to complete it)
