Generate your own power while you wait! Britain's first electric car forecourt where drivers can use exercise bikes to help charge their vehicles opens today
The Gridserve Electric Forecourt in Braintree is the first of 100 to be built across the UK in the next five years
Charging takes 20-30 minutes and costs 24p per kWh - less than £10 for an average EV to go from 20% to 80%
Some 36 EVs can be charged simultaneously at the net-zero carbon station, which uses renewable energy
Exercise bikes set up on site are able to generate power towards recharging visiting motorists' car batteries
Britain's first electric car forecourt has opened today with on-site exercise bikes giving drivers the chance to help charge their vehicles.
Gridserve's pioneering Electric Forecourt is located near Braintree, Essex, and is the first of 100 sites to be built across the country in the next five years as part of a £1billion nationwide programme.
The service station features 36 EV charges and shops including a WH Smith and a Post Office.
The UK's first all-electric forecourt opens today in Braintree, Essex - powered by 100% renewable energy, no less. https://t.co/RsleRz00Ka

Good to see a new generation
@ElecHighway
chargers set to roll out - more reliable, faster chargers at motorway service areas will be welcomed by #EV drivers. Lets hope they are installed in sufficient numbers at these busy locations & provide out of hours support. #evcharging

It’s one of our new High Powered Charging units (HPC)- water cooled, super reliable, contactless ready - waiting to go to Rugby motorway services. This is the double header version - one side is 350kW CCS the other 175kW chademo.

‘There were only 700 public charging points around the UK and now there are 20,000, so that’s a 9 fold increase in about 7 or 8 years.’ Melanie Shufflebotham, Co-founder,

speaking on the rapid growth of charging infrastructure around the UK #FTCar
Billions for ev charging
I believe the spread is affordable to everyone now.
Someone pass me an electric car brochure?
The Prime Minister has launched a lobbying offensive to persuade big business to spend more than £40billion on green projects over the next decade, we can reveal. Johnson and Business Secretary Alok Sharma held a private meeting with more than 20 powerful British and multinational corporations just hours after the Government published its 'green industrial strategy' last Wednesday.

be interesting if GOOD can get a partner on board with Zapmap and Zappay now
There are currently 20,197 public charging points in the UK, in 12,724 locations, according to ZapMap, and the number is increasing rapidly. A growing proportion are high-powered rapid or ultra-rapid chargers.
However, there is no doubt many more will be needed if millions of petrol and diesel cars are to be replaced by battery models each year.
The RAC's head of roads policy, Nicholas Lyes, said many drivers found electric cars "daunting" due to concerns about their range and the lack of charging points.
"Some of these problems will disappear as the average range of electric vehicles increases, but it's vital that the government continues to invest in developing a fast, reliable and widely available network of chargers that support electric vehicle owners no matter what their circumstances or travel plans."
Ian Johnston is chief executive of Osprey, which is building a network of rapid chargers around the country. It has installed 182 so far, and currently has funding to build 2,000.
The RAC said the UK's charging network would need to grow "exponentially" to cope as electric vehicle sales surged.
Trade body the SMMT urged better incentives to cut the costs of cars.
However, most welcomed the ban, with AA president Edmund King saying: "With considerable investment and focus, the electric revolution could flourish".
GOOD could end up with a big partner like AA or someone now who will want to leverage off the app and get the new charge stations built
shows how dumb the market is right, boris is full on GREEN now and that was shown today
i gues we wait for Alok sharma and folk to load up and then we 10 bag here
Another key point of the plan is a £1.3bn investment in electric vehicle (EV) charging points. Grants for EV buyers will stretch to £582m to help people make the transition.
There is also nearly £500m for battery manufacture in the Midlands and north-east England.
Powered by the wind turbines of Scotland and the North East, propelled by electric cars made in the Midlands and advanced by tech developed in Wales, my 10 point plan will drive forward a Green Industrial Revolution, creating jobs across the country.

once the announces that - this should go flying
12billion investment into charging points
I thought that Good was going to use Kraken from Octopus and now another billing system announced. Wow - hopefully they get this one right?
Perhaps the two RNS and Juliet answering Sky on carbon capture and wind.

Gains ground when you don't expect it and doesn't when you do.
Govt dumps £160m into the wind sector and GE which supplies electricity where almost 60% is generated from wind.
Not even a blip.
