Cars are a heavy contributor to carbon emissions but switching to alternatives like electric cars has been slow because of limited charging points, the recharge time and the restricted distance one can travel before having to recharge.
Ecotricity removed this barrier by creating an ‘electric highway’, a network of fast-charging points across UK motorways. You can charge your vehicle from flat to 80% in 20 minutes while knowing the energy is from renewable sources. That’s what we call clean driving!
1,200 users registered for the Electric Highway.
1.7 tonnes of CO2 saved per car per year.
Vehicles can be charged from flat to 80% in 20 minutes.
"Ecotricity has removed one of the biggest barriers to the uptake of electric vehicles – the limited distance it’s possible to travel before having to re-charge. In the spirit of any true entrepreneur, it has taken a leap of faith and invested in kick-starting demand for electric vehicles, marking a huge leap forward on the road to decarbonised travel."
