Great to see Electric Highway expanding the charging provision at Exeter Services, well over 60 HPC chargers on the site now between @gridserve.bsky.social and @teslauk.bsky.social #EV #Exeter #Gridserve #ElectricHighway #CCS #360kW #TeslaSupercharger
Additional GRIDSERVE EV chargers go live at Exeter Services in Devon, just off the M5 motorway at junction 30

Yes, that’s my understanding as well, the growth in cars is largely down to safety legislation with crumple zones etc.

Cost of replacing a powertrain in a hybrid and in an EV comparsion (although why they didn’t choose the same brand or comparable models I don’t know, the hybrid would still likely cost more) x.com/evclinic/sta... #EV

Great to see Cleevely’s coverage map updates to include the South West, why another would want to use any other service for UK EV servicing and maintenance is beyond me #EV #Westcountry #SouthWest #CleevelyEV #EVServicing

That would probably be the going rate and there are a lot of variables, so get several quotes. Quite a few new cars bundle a ‘free’ charger installation. E.g VW & Skoda have offers including Ohme chargers at the moment. 1/ #EV #HomeCharger
