How EV Pence Per Mile Road Charging Could Work!

Electric Car Chat ·

2025/11/13

Send us a text Headlines warned of surveillance and new tolls, but the real solution to funding roads in an electric future is simpler, cheaper and far more private. We make the case for a mileage-based model that uses technology already built into most modern EVs to replace falling fuel duty without tracking where you go. Here’s the core idea: your car already stores mileage in multiple ECUs and connects via over‑the‑air updates for software and safety. By transmitting one number—total mile...

How An Air Fryer Changed My Mind About Electric Cars

Electric Car Chat ·

2025/10/17

Send us a text A half-price sticker never changed my mind about anything—seeing it work did. That’s the simple truth behind a story that starts with an air fryer and ends with a clear plan for accelerating electric car adoption without leaning on blunt discounts. We begin with a familiar arc: scepticism, a friend’s invite, and a hands-on demo that shatters assumptions. Watching an air-fryer roast a chicken, dehydrate fruit, bake cake, and sync cooking times reframes what it is and what it’s ...

We unpack the maze of car insurance add‑ons for electric vehicles and sort the meaningful protections from the padded upsells, bringing real‑world context to GAP options, extended warranties, and why windscreens with sensors can turn a “simple” crack into a budget‑busting repair.

Send us a text Insurance policies for electric cars contain hidden clauses that could cost owners thousands when battery packs need replacement after accidents. Betterment charges—the requirement for owners to contribute toward new replacement parts—are particularly concerning with EV batteries that can cost £20,000-£30,000. • Dealership staff knowledge about EV implications remain generally poor despite government-endorsed training programs • Betterment occurs when insurance repairs leave y...

What happens when nobody can see the electric vehicle charging infrastructure that already exists? In this thought-provoking exploration of EV adoption psychology, I reveal why the biggest barrier to electric car adoption might be hiding in plain sight – or rather, not visible at all. The UK now has 75,000 public chargers serving 1.4 million electric vehicles – that's just 19 cars per charger compared to a staggering 488 petrol/diesel vehicles per fuel pump. Yet when drivers like Nigel Farag...
