In this post we showcase some awesome innovations in the electric vehicle space.
Zap-Map.com
Locate over 30,000 public chargepoints across the UK, use the route-planner to plan longer electric journeys, share comments, photo’s and updates with other EV users and even pay for charging on participating networks.
Wireless Charging
The the latest EV tech to sweep through the UK is wireless charging. Just as many smartphones can now be charged by simply placing them on a pad, wireless EV charging can work by simply driving over an underground charging station.
Community Charging
Enabling people with EV chargers to share them with neighbours, so they can swap to an electric vehicle. There are about 400,000 home chargers across the UK – far more than the 30,000 public chargers that are currently available.
350kw Chargepoints
Add over 200 miles of range in less than 10 minutes – whilst this is limited to specific electric cars that are compatible with this type of charger, this is the art of the possible, the future happening right now.
Classic Car Conversions
Everrati.com are converting iconic cars into iconic electric vehicles. Porsche 911, Shelby GT40, Landrover Series IIA, Porsche Signature Gulf Edition and Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda.. or maybe you desire a bespoke EV build?
National Grid App
This app lets you monitor the generation types that make up your electricity supply and see when the cleanest time to use electricity will be. See the carbon impact level of electricity generation, how your region compares to others and be notified when a record towards decarbonisation breaks.
Vehicle To Grid (V2G)
Turn your EV into a battery for your house! V2G technology allows electric vehicle (EV) batteries to store energy and discharge it back to the electricity network when it’s most needed – for instance at peak times of the day when usage across the UK is at its highest.
Portable Chargers
A ‘smart’ charger on wheels, no bigger than a compact suitcase, that is designed for simplicity, affordability and appeal. Think “EV jerry can” or “Suitcase Charger”… www.zipcharge.global
