It’s awesome to see another business in the sustainability sector co-founded by a woman. Welcome to myenergi, a fast growing business in the electric driving sector!
With the rapid increase in the adoption of electric cars in the UK, electric vehicle charging stations have become commonplace at home, workplace and public charging. According to ZAPMAP, public EV charging points are in nearly 15,000 locations in the UK.
Home charging stations are also increasing rapidly. The majority of electric car charging is done at home, usually overnight. Charging a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) or a plug-in electric vehicle (PHEV) is quite simple as charge a smartphone.
