A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.

All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!

No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.

The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

its usually because the grid connection needs upgrading and crosses various properties, resulting in delays and sometimes court battles. You could argue that its wishful thinking to just put a load of chargers where theres no power and expect the council to roll over.
