1. EV APP OF THE WEEK: CONNECTED KERB

Probably the UK’s favourite charging app. We heard that electric vehicle drivers (that's you) hate charging apps because they’re not very user friendly and there’s too many to choose from. That’s why we’ve built a charging app that you can rely on, day in day out. Welcome to the world of Connected Kerb.

2. EV NEWS: INSIDE EVS

Tesla Cybertruck Cuts Power In Tug-Of-War Battle Against Diesel Chevy Silverado. When Tesla debuted its Cybertruck, it featured a video showing the electric truck easily beating the Ford F-150 in a tug-of-war contest. The was a lot of controversy surrounding the matchup though and there was even a hint of a rematch from Ford. However, Ford later backed down from challenging the Cybertruck in a tug-of-war challenge.

3. EV TIP: BACK UP CABLE

The charging cables you can use during the trip may vary. For example, you may have to use standard wall sockets instead of charging stations in some places. This may lead to a need for both an adapter and a backup cable, so it is advisable to pack both before leaving home.

4. EV CHARGING: EV CHARGING POINT PAYG

ZeroNet is the national charging network that delivers what EV drivers need. It neutralises range anxiety through simple, robust and reliable Charging Stations at locations drivers can trust. Drivers can eat, play, work or sleep while topping up their vehicles.

Unlike other networks, drivers don't need to register, pay monthly fees or carry smart cards. The essence of ZeroNet is strictly pay-as-you-go. Drivers can simply pull up and plug in, trusting in charging stations that work every time.

5. EV REVIEW: CAR WOW

Seal BYD

The Seal is Chinese brand BYD’s third new car to launch across 2023, and like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, to many it will be seen as by far the best of the three.

With all due respect to the Atto 3 SUV and Dolphin hatchback, the Seal is a big step forward on either, and will find itself added to a shortlist of options that could already have contained the Tesla Model 3, BMW i4, Polestar 2 and Hyundai Ioniq 6. Which is pretty elite company for a brand that didn’t have a car on sale in the UK before summer 2023.

6. EV QUIZ: SPORCLE

Quizzes for everyone. We like a challenge, feel free to add your own quiz or take part in one of the many ones we have online. Can you match the Car Maker to its Electric model?

Until next time. Have a fantastic week!
